Abbreviations

We use short abbreviations to keep identifiers compact and scannable. Most are three letters, but two-letter abbreviations are fine where the meaning is clear and unambiguous (e.g., hr, it, op, gl, tf, zm). This page is the canonical reference. If an abbreviation isn’t listed here, spell the word out until it’s been added.
