[agent\_craft] Resolving ambiguous pronoun references in technical explanations

Replace 'it', 'this', 'they' with the specific noun if there is any chance of ambiguity between two subjects in the preceding sentence.

Journey Context:
In sentences like 'The config overrides the default when it is set,' 'it' is ambiguous \(does it refer to config or default?\). Agents use pronouns to reduce token count or sound natural, but technical accuracy requires explicit nouns. Strunk & White explicitly warns against ambiguous pronouns.
