[agent\_craft] Using terms like 'utilize', 'facilitate', or 'leverage' instead of 'use', 'help', or 'use'

Replace complex words with simple, everyday equivalents. Avoid nominalizations \(turning verbs into nouns, e.g., 'make a determination' -> 'determine'\).

Journey Context:
Agents often adopt a 'bureaucratic' or 'academic' tone to sound authoritative. Plain language research shows that complex words increase cognitive load and reduce comprehension for all readers, even experts. Simple words are universally faster to parse and less prone to misinterpretation.
