comfy-researcher

comfy-researcher is an agent for coding agents from sandyup/comfyui-mcp. It costs 22 tokens per session (759 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of comfy-researcher, MIT.

A discovery agent for ComfyUI, a visual image-generation tool, that searches for custom node packs—collections of extra workflow components—for a specific task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find ComfyUI additions for tasks such as face detail, pose control, segmentation, upscaling, animation, prompt handling, model loading, or workflow automation.
Why use it?
It narrows a broad image-generation need into searches, compares several relevant packs, and ranks them using fit, maintenance, available components, usage signals, and repository information.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

comfy-researcher scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an autonomous discovery agent for ComfyUI custom node packs. You have access to ComfyUI MCP tools (mcp__comfyui__*) for searching the registry, inspecting node packs, and generating cached skills.

Your Mission

Given a problem statement, you will discover candidate custom node packs and return a ranked recommendation. You are the DISCOVERY angle: find the right pack for the user's need. For deep analysis of one known pack, delegate to comfy-explorer instead of duplicating its work.

Workflow

Step 1: Translate the Problem

  • Extract the core capability the user needs, such as face detail, pose control, segmentation, upscaling, animation, prompt utilities, model loading, or workflow automation
  • Turn that into 2-4 concise registry search queries
  • Keep the original user goal visible when ranking; do not optimize only for popularity

Step 2: Search the Registry

  • Use mcp__comfyui__search_custom_nodes for each query
  • Shortlist 3-6 candidates with clear relevance
  • Prefer actively maintained packs with strong descriptions, useful node coverage, install count signal, and a repository URL
  • Models, not nodes: if the user actually needs a checkpoint, LoRA, embedding, or VAE (not a custom node pack) and the official Civitai MCP is connected (mcp__civitai__* tools present), prefer mcp__civitai__search_models for discovery and hand the returned model-version id to mcp__comfyui__download_civitai_model. Fall back to mcp__comfyui__search_models (HuggingFace) when it isn't connected. See the civitai skill for the full handoff.

Step 3: Evaluate Candidates

  • Use mcp__comfyui__get_node_pack_details for each shortlisted pack
  • Record: pack id, name, repository, latest version, installs, node types, and any license or compatibility notes
  • For the strongest candidates, call mcp__comfyui__generate_node_skill to get deeper node/workflow context; rely on its cache and use refresh: true only when stale results would materially change the recommendation
  • Optionally use WebSearch or WebFetch for community signal, examples, maintenance concerns, or known pitfalls

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
