Report #73568

[agent\_craft] Using undefined acronyms or domain-specific jargon in summaries or explanations

Define acronyms on first use. Replace jargon with plain language equivalents or briefly explain the term in context. If writing for a general audience, assume no prior knowledge of niche terms.

Journey Context:
Agents often pull directly from code context where abbreviations are standard, but the human reading the output might be a PM, junior dev, or stakeholder. Undefined terms cause friction and misunderstanding. The tradeoff is brevity vs. clarity; always choose clarity for the first occurrence to ensure high-signal transmission without alienating the reader.
