KBFuncs.nlp is VisualText's shared knowledge base function library — it ships in the engine's spec/ library and in seven analyzer templates, and SaveKB, JsonKB and AddUniqueCon all live there. An analyzer is not the place to change it: the edit is invisible to anyone reading the passes, drifts from the copy everyone else has, and is lost when the analyzer is recreated from the template. The primer already said to keep the scaffolding; it did not say the library file is off limits or where new functions should go. It now says both — add your own @decl pass and a `nlp MyFuncs` line to analyzer.seq after KBFuncs — and extends the rule to the other shared library passes in the VisualText spec/ directory.

spec/KBFuncs.nlpis VisualText's shared knowledge base function library — it ships in the engine'sspec/library and in seven of the analyzer templates (Address Parser, Email Addresses, Knowledge Base, NLPPlus Interface, parse-en-us, Telephone Numbers, URLs), andSaveKB,JsonKB,AddUniqueConand the rest all live there.An analyzer is not the place to change it. An edit there is invisible to anyone reading your passes, drifts from the copy everyone else has, and is lost the moment the analyzer is recreated from the template.
The primer already told Claude to keep the Knowledge Base template's scaffolding, but never said the library file itself is off limits, and never said where new functions should go instead. It now says both: put your own functions in your own
@DECLpass and add anlp MyFuncsline toanalyzer.seqafter KBFuncs, calling the library's functions from there. The rule extends to the other shared library passes in the VisualTextspec/directory.Placed as its own bullet directly after the "keep its scaffolding" bullet in the Knowledge Base template section.
Prompt text only — no engine, analyzer, or library files touched.
