[agent\_craft] Using ambiguous pronouns \('it', 'this', 'they'\) in complex technical sentences, causing antecedent confusion

Repeat the noun or restructure the sentence to eliminate the pronoun if the referent isn't 100% obvious from the immediately preceding clause.

Journey Context:
Agents try to vary vocabulary to avoid repetition, but in technical writing, 'it' often refers to the process, the variable, or the system, causing dangerous ambiguity. Clarity beats stylistic elegance. If repeating a noun feels awkward, rewrite the sentence entirely.
