[agent\_craft] How to handle technical acronyms and jargon when writing for mixed-audience docs or emails

Spell out acronyms on first use per document/page. Avoid jargon if a plain-language equivalent exists and is accurate.

Journey Context:
Agents optimizing for brevity often leave acronyms undefined, assuming reader context. This alienates new developers or cross-functional team members. AP Stylebook and Plainlanguage.gov mandate spelling out on first use to ensure accessibility and clarity, trading a few extra words for significant readability gains.
