[agent\_craft] Using ambiguous pronouns like 'it' or 'this' in technical explanations

Replace the pronoun with the actual noun, or ensure the pronoun's antecedent is the immediately preceding noun.

Journey Context:
In 'When you update the config, it fails', 'it' could refer to the config, the update process, or the system. Technical contexts often involve multiple nouns in close proximity. Ambiguous pronouns force the reader to stop and backtrack, breaking flow. Explicit nouns eliminate this friction.
