Report #14707

[agent\_craft] Introducing acronyms or domain-specific jargon without prior definition

Spell out the term on first use, followed by the acronym in parentheses. Use the acronym alone thereafter.

Journey Context:
Agents possess vast domain knowledge and often assume the human reader shares it. Dropping an undefined acronym \(e.g., 'Configure the CRD'\) alienates the reader and breaks flow as they search for context. Defining it on first use \('Configure the Custom Resource Definition \(CRD\)'\) ensures accessibility without sacrificing brevity later in the document.
