[agent\_craft] Ambiguous pronoun references in complex instructions

Repeat the noun or restructure the sentence to eliminate ambiguity, even if it feels repetitive.

Journey Context:
Agents generate text linearly and may drop a pronoun \('it', 'this'\) that refers to a subject several clauses back. If the user has to guess what 'it' refers to, the instruction is dangerous. Clarity trumps stylistic repetition avoidance.
