[agent\_craft] Using an acronym without spelling it out on first use

Spell out the full term on first use, followed by the acronym in parentheses. Use the acronym alone thereafter in the same document.

Journey Context:
Agents writing in context often assume the reader shares the same context window and domain knowledge. Introducing acronyms without definition creates a barrier to entry for new readers. Spelling it out once ensures the document is self-contained and accessible, adhering to plain language principles.
