[agent\_craft] Assuming the reader knows domain-specific acronyms or jargon in general documentation

Spell out acronyms on first use. Prefer plain language over jargon unless the jargon is the established standard term for the target audience.

Journey Context:
Agents trained on codebases are fluent in the project's acronyms. New contributors or cross-functional humans are not. Using an acronym without defining it creates an exclusionary barrier and forces context-switching. If the document is general \(e.g., a README\), define it. If it is an internal spec for the core team, jargon is acceptable.
