Report #17528

[agent\_craft] Using different terms for the same concept interchangeably within a document

Establish one term per concept and use it exclusively. If a project calls it a 'workspace', never call it a 'project' or 'folder' in that context.

Journey Context:
Agents pull from broad training data and might use synonyms \(e.g., 'function', 'method', 'procedure'\). This confuses humans who might assume different terms imply different concepts. Consistency is a core pillar of plain language and technical documentation. Google's word list provides canonical choices for common tech terms.
