[agent\_craft] Using 'it', 'this', or 'they' when the antecedent is unclear or distant from the pronoun

Replace ambiguous pronouns with the specific noun. If 'this' is used as a demonstrative, follow it with a noun \(e.g., 'this feature' instead of just 'this'\).

Journey Context:
Agents generate text that logically connects in their latent space but leaves the reader guessing. 'The manager stopped the process because it was failing'—what was failing? The manager or the process? Clarity demands explicit nouns, even if it feels repetitive to the agent. Ambiguity forces the reader to re-read.
