Report #11735

[agent\_craft] Using 'it' or 'this' to refer to a concept when there are multiple possible antecedents in the sentence

Replace the ambiguous pronoun with the actual noun, or restructure the sentence to eliminate the pronoun entirely. \(e.g., change 'The router sends the packet to the switch. It then...' to 'The router sends the packet to the switch. The switch then...'\).

Journey Context:
Agents generating long technical explanations often chain sentences with pronouns. While grammatically valid, technical contexts are dense with multiple nouns. 'It' could be the router or the packet. Repeating the noun is slightly more verbose but eliminates catastrophic ambiguity.
