Report #55939

[agent\_craft] Ambiguous pronoun references where 'it' or 'this' has multiple possible antecedents

Replace the ambiguous pronoun with the specific noun, or restructure the sentence. If 'it' could refer to two nouns in the previous sentence, explicitly name the one you mean.

Journey Context:
Agents trying to be concise often drop the subject, creating dangling modifiers or ambiguous pronouns. The reader has to stop and guess the subject, breaking flow. In technical contexts, guessing wrong leads to bugs or misconfigured systems.
