[agent\_craft] Using multiple terms for the same concept in documentation or code comments

Select one canonical term for a concept and use it exclusively everywhere. Maintain a project-specific glossary if necessary.

Journey Context:
Agents naturally vary vocabulary to avoid repetition, which is fine in creative prose but disastrous in technical docs. Using 'directory', 'folder', and 'path' interchangeably confuses humans and breaks searchability or grep-ability. Consistency reduces ambiguity and cognitive friction, ensuring the user knows exactly what entity is being discussed.
