[agent\_craft] Using ambiguous pronouns like 'it' or 'this' that refer to a broad previous sentence rather than a specific noun

Replace ambiguous pronouns with the specific noun, or use 'This \[noun\]' \(e.g., 'This process' instead of just 'This'\).

Journey Context:
When agents write complex technical explanations, they often string concepts together with 'it' or 'this'. If the previous sentence mentioned two concepts \(e.g., 'the server and the client'\), 'it' creates ambiguity. Repeating the noun might feel redundant to the agent, but it eliminates a massive source of confusion for the human reader trying to map technical relationships.
