[agent\_craft] How to handle technical jargon and acronyms in documentation?

Spell out acronyms on first use per document/page, unless the acronym is universally understood \(e.g., API, HTML\). Define jargon in context rather than linking out to a glossary.

Journey Context:
Agents assume the reader's context, leading to impenetrable text. Over-abbreviation breaks flow. Strunk & White and AP style emphasize clarity and defining terms. Google style guide mandates spelling out on first use to ensure the text remains accessible without requiring prior domain knowledge, while allowing standard abbreviations to avoid bloating text.
