[agent\_craft] Using ambiguous pronouns like 'it' or 'this' where the referent is unclear

Replace the pronoun with the specific noun or restructure the sentence to make the referent explicit.

Journey Context:
In technical writing, 'Click the icon and drag it to the folder' is clear, but 'The API returns a token and a timestamp; this is required for auth' is not. Does 'this' refer to the token or the timestamp? Ambiguous pronouns force the reader to guess, which leads to errors.
