[agent\_craft] Using "it", "this", or "they" when the antecedent is unclear or refers to one of two nouns

Replace the ambiguous pronoun with the actual noun, or restructure the sentence to eliminate the pronoun.

Journey Context:
"When the variable is passed to the function, it fails." Does the variable fail, or the function? Ambiguous pronouns cause critical misunderstandings in technical contexts and can lead to incorrect implementations. Clarity is worth the slight repetition of the noun.
