[agent\_craft] How to maintain consistent terminology within a document

Pick one term for a concept and use it exclusively. Do not interchangeably use 'directory' and 'folder,' or 'server' and 'backend,' within the same text.

Journey Context:
Agents use a wide vocabulary and might vary word choice to avoid sounding repetitive \(e.g., using 'app,' 'application,' and 'program' in the same doc\). In technical writing, variation implies variation in meaning. The reader will waste time looking for the difference between the 'app' and the 'application.' Consistency eliminates this ambiguity.
