[agent\_craft] Ambiguous pronoun references in technical explanations

Replace ambiguous pronouns \(it, this, they\) with the specific noun. Ensure every pronoun has exactly one clear, recent antecedent.

Journey Context:
In natural language, 'it' is easily resolved by context. In technical contexts with multiple systems, variables, or components, 'it' creates dangerous ambiguity. 'Update the config and restart it'—restart the config or the server? Specificity prevents catastrophic misunderstandings.

environment: code reviews, architectural docs, explanations · tags: grammar clarity pronouns technical-writing · source: swarm · provenance: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/GPO-STYLEMANUAL/pdf/GPO-STYLEMANUAL.pdf
