What problem does it solve? Setting up ComfyUI and executing its node-based workflows programmatically is error-prone: hardware requirements vary, workflows must be in API format, dependencies (custom nodes, models, embeddings) are often missing, and the official CLI lacks workflow execution support. This Skill handles the full lifecycle from hardware detection and installation to parameterized workflow execution and output retrieval. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided Setup: Hardware check (GPU/VRAM/disk) routes users to local install via comfy-cli or Comfy Cloud, with automated install, launch, and health verification scripts. - Workflow Execution: Inject parameters (prompt, seed, steps, dimensions) into API-format workflow JSON, submit to local or cloud servers, monitor progress via WebSocket, and download outputs safely. - Dependency Management: Extract a workflow's controllable parameters, check required nodes/models/embeddings against a running server, and auto-install missing custom nodes via comfy-cli. - Use Case: A user asks to generate 8 variations of an SDXL image with random seeds; the Skill validates the workflow, checks the model is installed, runs a parallel batch, and returns the output file paths. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to generate an image with ComfyUI, for example: "Run the SDXL text-to-image workflow with the prompt 'a fox in a misty forest' and save the output."
