[agent\_craft] Using ambiguous pronouns like 'it' or 'this' when multiple nouns are nearby

Repeat the noun or restructure the sentence. Write 'The server rejected the request because the request was invalid' instead of '...because it was invalid.'

Journey Context:
Ambiguous pronouns are a leading cause of confusion in technical explanations. Agents often generate 'this' referring to a whole previous paragraph, which forces the human to guess the antecedent.
