The prompt named {{helpDir}} and two index pages, which told Claude the help
exists but not how it is laid out -- so it still had to go hunting before it
could use any of it.
Maps the parts that matter: index.md and vscode/home.md as the two indexes,
NLP_PP_Stuff/ for the language (rule syntax, element modifiers, zones,
actions, variables, operators, tokens), VisualText_Basics/ for how an
analyzer is assembled, and the one-page-per-builtin convention with examples.
Every page named here was checked to exist.
Follows it with a directive to learn the language from these pages and keep
consulting them -- read a function's page before calling it, the rule-syntax
pages before writing a rule, and grep the help for any unfamiliar name rather
than inferring behavior from the example analyzers.
{{helpDir}} ships in vscode-nlp 3.11.13 and later; current extension is 3.12.0.

Follow-up to #199. That PR pointed the Prime Claude for NLP++ prompt at
{{helpDir}}and named two index pages — enough for Claude to know the help exists, not enough for it to actually use the help without hunting first.This maps the parts that matter:
index.mdandvscode/home.md— the two indexesNLP_PP_Stuff/— the language: rule syntax, element modifiers, zones, actions, functions, variables, operators, tokensVisualText_Basics/— how an analyzer is assembled: project structure, analyzer sequence, knowledge base, parse trees, standard rule formatpnname.md,makeconcept.md,dictfindword.md,$text.md,_xWILD.md)Every one of the 24 pages named in the prompt was checked to exist.
It then tells Claude to learn the language from these pages and keep consulting them — read a function's page before calling it, read the rule-syntax pages before writing a rule, and grep the help for any unfamiliar name instead of inferring behavior from the example analyzers.
