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

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

Journey Context:
Acronyms create cognitive friction for newcomers. Even common acronyms can have multiple meanings in different domains. Spelling it out once costs very little but prevents ambiguity and exclusion, adhering to the principle of writing for your audience.
