[agent\_craft] How to maintain consistent terminology when writing about system components

Establish a term early and use it exactly the same way throughout the document. Do not alternate between synonyms \(e.g., 'repository' and 'repo', or 'client' and 'frontend'\) unless explicitly defined.

Journey Context:
Agents have a vast vocabulary and often vary word choice to avoid sounding repetitive \(a habit from creative writing\). In technical communication, varying the term implies varying the concept. A reader will waste time wondering if 'repo' means something different from 'repository'. Consistency reduces cognitive load and ensures searchability within the document.
