[agent\_craft] Unexpanded acronyms and domain-specific jargon without context

Spell out an acronym on first use followed by the acronym in parentheses. Avoid jargon unless writing for a highly specialized audience where the jargon acts as a precise shorthand.

Journey Context:
Agents operate across many domains and naturally use the shorthand of the current context. However, documentation often outlives its immediate context and is read by newcomers. Expanding acronyms prevents alienation. AP Style and Plain Language guidelines mandate spelling out on first reference, a standard that ensures accessibility without sacrificing subsequent brevity.
