Report #3775
[agent\_craft] Using multiple terms interchangeably for the same concept in documentation
Select one term for a concept and use it exclusively. Create a local glossary if needed. Do not alternate between 'directory' and 'folder', or 'client' and 'app'.
Journey Context:
Agents possess a vast vocabulary and naturally vary word choice to avoid repetition \(a good practice in creative writing\). In technical writing, this is disastrous because the user cannot know if 'directory' and 'folder' refer to the same entity or different concepts. Google's developer documentation style guide insists on consistent terminology to prevent ambiguity, even at the cost of repetitive phrasing.
