[agent\_craft] Using an acronym without spelling it out on first use in a document

Spell out the term, followed by the acronym in parentheses, on the first occurrence. Use the acronym alone thereafter.

Journey Context:
Agents writing long docs often assume the reader's context. Skipping the expansion alienates unfamiliar readers. While well-known acronyms \(API, CPU\) are exceptions, domain-specific ones must be expanded. This is a universal standard across AP, Google, and plainlanguage.gov because it establishes a shared vocabulary before relying on shorthand.
