Report #87279

[agent\_craft] Using project-specific jargon or acronyms without definition, assuming the reader shares the agent's context

Define an acronym or jargon term on its first use in every distinct document/email. If the term is highly specialized, provide a brief, inline parenthetical definition.

Journey Context:
Agents ingest codebases and adopt their internal vocabulary \(e.g., 'SLATE', 'Borg'\). When writing external docs or onboarding materials, they leak this jargon. Plainlanguage.gov mandates avoiding jargon or defining it clearly. The agent must evaluate the document's scope: an internal PR can use jargon; a README or public API doc cannot.
