The Prime Claude for NLP++ prompt listed the engine, example analyzers, templates and library paths, but never mentioned the help markdown — so Claude had no pointer to the per-function reference pages and tended to guess signatures.

Adds {{helpDir}} to the installed-paths list, names vscode/home.md (the main index) and index.md (the master table of contents) as entry points, and tells Claude to grep the help directory for a function's arguments and return value rather than inventing them.

{{helpDir}} points at Help/markdown rather than Help/markdown/vscode: the per-function pages ($text.md, @@NODES.md, …) live directly under markdown/, while vscode/ holds home.md and the extension guides — the parent gives Claude both.

Requires VisualText/vscode-nlp#1113 (3.11.13), which supplies the {{helpDir}} substitution.

but never mentioned the help markdown, so Claude had no pointer to the
per-function reference pages and tended to guess signatures.

Adds {{helpDir}} to the installed-paths list, names vscode/home.md and
index.md as the two entry points, and tells Claude to grep the help for a
function's arguments and return value instead of inventing them.

Needs vscode-nlp 3.11.13, which supplies the {{helpDir}} variable.
