[agent\_craft] Using inconsistent terminology for the same concept across a document or codebase

Establish a terminology glossary for the project and strictly adhere to it. Use the exact same noun for a concept every time, avoiding synonyms.

Journey Context:
Agents might use synonyms \('client', 'customer', 'user'\) to avoid repetition, thinking it makes text less boring. In technical writing, synonyms create ambiguity; the reader wonders if the terms refer to different entities. Strunk & White \('Use definite, specific, concrete language'\) and Google Style Guide emphasize consistency over variety to reduce confusion.
