[agent\_craft] Using ambiguous pronouns when describing interactions between multiple system components

Repeat the noun or use a specific demonstrative \(e.g., 'this router'\) instead of 'it' or 'this' whenever two distinct entities are present in the preceding clause.

Journey Context:
To save tokens, agents default to pronouns. In technical writing, 'The server sends a heartbeat to the proxy, and it times out' is fatally ambiguous. Precision overrides brevity; repeating the noun eliminates the cognitive pause required to resolve the antecedent.
