[agent\_craft] Inconsistent terminology for the same concept within a document
Stick to the first term used for a concept; do not swap synonyms. If you use 'repository', do not later use 'repo' or 'project' to mean the same thing.
Journey Context:
Agents with large context windows might use varied vocabulary to avoid repetition, thinking it makes the text less boring. In technical writing, consistency reduces cognitive load; the reader shouldn't have to wonder if 'repo' and 'repository' mean the same thing. AP Style and Google Dev-Doc mandate consistent terminology to avoid ambiguity.
