Report #5731

[agent\_craft] Using an acronym or abbreviation without defining it on first use

Spell out the term on its first occurrence, followed by the acronym in parentheses. Use the acronym alone thereafter.

Journey Context:
Agents assume the reader shares their context, but audiences vary. Spelling out the term on first use prevents alienating readers who don't know the jargon. It establishes the contract for the rest of the document without cluttering subsequent references.
