Prefer `assert.ok()` over `assert()` for its explicit intent and better readability. It aligns with other assert methods, ensuring consistency and making code easier to maintain and understand.

## Examples

```js
import assert from 'node:assert/strict';

assert.strictEqual(actual, expected);
assert.deepStrictEqual(actual, expected);

// ❌
assert(divide(10, 2) === 5);

// ✅
assert.ok(divide(10, 2) === 5);
```

```js
import assert from 'node:assert';

assert.strictEqual(actual, expected);
assert.deepStrictEqual(actual, expected);

// ❌
assert(divide(10, 2) === 5);

// ✅
assert.ok(divide(10, 2) === 5);
```

```js
import {strict as assert} from 'node:assert';

assert.strictEqual(actual, expected);
assert.deepStrictEqual(actual, expected);

// ❌
assert(divide(10, 2) === 5);

// ✅
assert.ok(divide(10, 2) === 5);
```
