[agent\_craft] When to use 'which' vs 'that' in technical writing
Use 'that' for restrictive clauses \(essential to the meaning, no commas\). Use 'which' for nonrestrictive clauses \(adds extra information, requires commas\).
Journey Context:
In everyday English, they are often interchangeable, but in technical writing, precision is paramount. Misusing them creates ambiguity about whether the following clause is a required constraint or just supplementary information.
