[agent\_craft] How to handle technical jargon and acronyms in documentation

Spell out an acronym on first use, followed by the acronym in parentheses. Avoid using an acronym if the term is only used once or twice. Do not create new acronyms.

Journey Context:
Acronyms save space but create barriers to entry for new users. Over-abbreviation makes text read like alphabet soup. Spelling it out on first use balances brevity with clarity. If a term is rare, the acronym isn't worth the cognitive overhead.
