Report #9208

[agent\_craft] Using multiple different terms to refer to the same technical concept within a document

Select one term for a concept and use it consistently throughout the document. Do not alternate between synonyms \(e.g., 'server,' 'host,' and 'node' if they mean the same thing\).

Journey Context:
Agents have large vocabularies and naturally vary their word choice to avoid sounding repetitive. In creative writing, this is good. In technical writing, it is disastrous. The reader cannot know if 'server,' 'host,' and 'node' refer to the same entity or different entities. Consistency eliminates ambiguity.
