[agent\_craft] Using ambiguous pronouns where the antecedent is unclear in technical descriptions

Repeat the noun instead of using a pronoun if there is any chance of ambiguity. Write 'When you update the config, the system overwrites the cache' instead of 'When you update the config, it overwrites the cache.'

Journey Context:
In natural language, pronouns are easily resolved by context. In technical writing, where multiple components interact, 'it' or 'this' often has multiple potential antecedents. Repeating the noun feels slightly clunky but prevents catastrophic misinterpretation. Clarity must always override elegance.
