[agent\_craft] Using ambiguous pronouns when referring to technical concepts across sentences

Repeat the noun or use a specific noun phrase instead of an ambiguous pronoun. Write 'Configure the router. The router must be...' instead of 'Configure the router. It must be...'.

Journey Context:
'When you configure the router, it must be connected to the switch.' \(What must be connected? The router or the switch?\). Technical writing often deals with multiple nouns in close proximity. Strunk & White advises clear pronoun references; in tech docs, repeating the noun is always safer than risking ambiguity, even if it feels repetitive.
