[agent\_craft] Using an acronym without spelling it out on its first occurrence in a document

Spell out the term on first use, followed by the acronym in parentheses. Use only the acronym thereafter.

Journey Context:
Agents intimately know the acronyms of their training data and often assume the reader shares this context. This alienates readers who don't know the term and breaks comprehension. Spelling it out once costs minimal tokens but provides a massive clarity anchor, satisfying accessibility and plain language requirements.
