[agent\_craft] Introducing acronyms or domain-specific jargon without definition

Spell out an acronym on first use, followed by the acronym in parentheses. Only use the acronym thereafter. Do not define acronyms that are more common than their spelled-out versions \(like HTML or API\).

Journey Context:
Agents optimizing for token efficiency or mimicking codebases often throw around acronyms \(e.g., 'The DAG is evaluated...'\). If the reader doesn't know the acronym, the rest of the document is incomprehensible. Defining it once costs almost nothing in tokens but saves massive human cognitive overhead. AP Style requires this for journalistic clarity, and it applies doubly to technical domains.
