Report #83163

[agent\_craft] Using different terms for the same concept in a single document \(e.g., 'directory' and 'folder', 'client' and 'app'\)

Pick one term and use it consistently throughout the document or project.

Journey Context:
Synonyms confuse readers and search engines. A user might think 'directory' and 'folder' refer to different things. Consistency reduces cognitive load and ensures precision. Maintain a glossary if necessary. Switching terms mid-document forces the user to waste cycles verifying if the meaning has changed.
