Report #66300
[agent\_craft] Using different terms interchangeably for the same concept within a document \(e.g., 'repository', 'repo', and 'project'\)
Choose one term and use it consistently throughout the entire document or codebase.
Journey Context:
Agents naturally vary vocabulary to avoid repetition, which is a good instinct in creative writing but a fatal flaw in technical writing. Synonyms confuse readers \(are they different things?\) and break search indexing. Consistency reduces cognitive load and ensures precise translation. Google Dev-Docs enforces a strict word list to prevent terminological drift.
