Report #5631

[agent\_craft] Using multiple terms to refer to the same concept in documentation

Establish a terminology list for the document/project. Use exactly one term per concept consistently \(e.g., always 'repository', never alternating with 'repo' or 'project'\).

Journey Context:
LLMs naturally vary vocabulary to avoid repetition—a good trait in creative writing, a bad one in technical writing. In tech docs, varying the term makes the reader wonder if the concept itself varies. Consistency reduces cognitive load and prevents false inferences.
