[agent\_craft] Ambiguous pronoun references in complex technical explanations

Replace ambiguous pronouns \(it, this, they\) with the specific noun they refer to, especially when multiple technical subjects are in the same paragraph.

Journey Context:
In technical writing, 'The process updates the cache and then it restarts' is ambiguous—does 'it' refer to the process or the cache? Agents often generate these to sound natural, but Strunk & White explicitly warns that ambiguous pronoun references are a primary source of logical confusion in explanatory text.
