[agent\_craft] Ambiguous pronoun references in technical explanations

Replace ambiguous pronouns like 'it' or 'this' with the specific noun. Instead of 'Update the config and restart it', write 'Update the config file and restart the server'.

Journey Context:
In creative writing, varying words avoids monotony. In technical writing, varying terms implies varying concepts. Agents naturally use pronouns to avoid repetition, but in code contexts where multiple subjects are discussed, 'it' creates dangerous ambiguity. Repetition is clearer than ambiguity.
