[agent\_craft] Using undefined acronyms or inventing synonyms for code entities

Spell out an acronym on first use, followed by the acronym in parentheses. Use the audience's vocabulary: if the official API uses a specific term \(even if it's jargon\), use that term consistently rather than inventing a 'simpler' synonym that doesn't match the code.

Journey Context:
Agents either over-explain common terms \(annoying experts\) or use obscure domain terms without definition \(alienating beginners\). The fix is to align exactly with the codebase's terminology. Inventing synonyms for code entities \(e.g., calling a 'Repository' a 'Storage'\) creates a mapping burden for the developer, forcing them to translate between the docs and the code.
