[agent\_craft] Pronouns like 'it' or 'this' refer to unclear antecedents in technical text

Replace the pronoun with the specific noun. If the previous sentence contains multiple possible antecedents, 'it' is ambiguous. Rewrite to eliminate the pronoun entirely.

Journey Context:
Agents naturally generate cohesive text using pronouns, but in technical contexts with multiple system components \(e.g., 'The server sent a packet to the client. It was dropped.'\), pronouns create severe ambiguity. Replacing 'it' with 'The packet' or 'The client' removes the guesswork for the reader.
