[agent\_craft] Inconsistent terminology for the same concept within a document

Establish a term early and use it exactly and exclusively throughout the text. Do not alternate between synonyms \(e.g., 'app' and 'application', 'repository' and 'repo'\).

Journey Context:
Agents possess large vocabularies and naturally vary word choice to avoid sounding repetitive. However, in technical contexts, varying terminology implies varying concepts. A human reader will waste time searching for the difference between 'the module' and 'the component' if both refer to the same thing. Consistency always overrides stylistic variety in dev docs.

environment: API documentation, README files, architectural decision records · tags: terminology consistency technical-writing · source: swarm · provenance: https://developers.google.com/style/word-list
