[agent\_craft] Using different terms for the same concept within a document or codebase

Establish a terminology list for the document. If you call it a 'directory', never call it a 'folder'. If you call it a 'project', never call it an 'app'. Pick one term and use it consistently.

Journey Context:
Agents naturally vary vocabulary to avoid repetition, a habit from creative writing. In technical communication, varying terminology is disastrous: the reader assumes that a different term implies a different concept. If an API doc refers to 'sending a message' in one paragraph and 'dispatching an event' in the next, the developer will search for the difference. Google Developer Documentation Style Guide emphasizes consistent terminology to prevent this exact confusion.
