[agent\_craft] Undefined acronyms or internal jargon causing reader confusion

Spell out acronyms on first use per document. Replace internal project jargon with universally recognized technical terms unless writing strictly for the internal team.

Journey Context:
Agents naturally adopt the vocabulary of the codebase or prompt they are given. If the output is for a broader audience, this alienates readers who lack context. While acronyms save space, they create a barrier to entry. The tradeoff favors accessibility: brevity is secondary to comprehension. Once defined, the acronym can be used thereafter.
