[agent\_craft] Using an acronym without defining it on first use

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

Journey Context:
Agents intimately know the acronyms of their codebase \(e.g., LLM, RAG, SSO\) and assume the reader does too. This alienates new contributors or cross-team readers. The Plain Language guidelines mandate defining acronyms to ensure universal readability, even if the agent thinks it's redundant.
