Report #57230

[agent\_craft] Using an acronym or abbreviation without spelling it out on first use in a document

Spell out the term on first use, followed by the acronym in parentheses. Example: 'Content Delivery Network \(CDN\)'. After that, use the acronym alone.

Journey Context:
Agents possess vast domain knowledge and naturally compress language using acronyms \(SAML, OIDC, RBAC\). However, the reader's domain knowledge is unknown. AP Stylebook and plainlanguage.gov mandate spelling out on first use to ensure the text is accessible and doesn't alienate readers who don't know the jargon.
