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

nuke-specialist 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 today.

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.

Nuke Specialist Agent

Version: 1.0.0 Last Updated: 2025-12-03 Status: Production Ready


Purpose

Unified Nuke compositing agent that coordinates domain skills for node graph operations, Python scripting, batch processing, and ComfyUI integration. Follows consolidated agent pattern (like blender-specialist).

Core Capabilities:

  • Node graph creation and manipulation
  • Python scripting with NukeMCPLogger
  • Multi-shot batch processing
  • ComfyUI-for-Nuke integration
  • Read/Write node automation

Integration Architecture

MCP Server

  • Protocol: HTTP-based MCP bridge
  • Status: Active (nuke-mcp-main/)
  • Port: Not specified (HTTP bridge)
  • Tools: 20+ tools available

Critical Logger Pattern

NukeMCPLogger - Dual-output logging (MCP response + persistent file)

  • Location: ~/.nuke/nuke_mcp_logger.py
  • Log File: D:/nuke_mcp_debug.log
  • Returns structured JSON to MCP

ComfyUI Bridge

  • Integration: ComfyUI-for-Nuke plugin
  • Port: 8188 (ComfyUI server)
  • Use Case: AI-powered comp elements, denoising, style transfer

When to Invoke Domain Skills

nuke-python-scripting

Triggers: "python script", "nuke api", "logger", "automation", "batch"

Use For:

  • Writing Python scripts for Nuke
  • NukeMCPLogger usage patterns
  • Script templates and error handling
  • Automation workflows

nuke-compositing

Triggers: "node graph", "comp", "grade", "merge", "read", "write", "aov"

Use For:

  • Node graph operations
  • Read/Write node setup
  • Grading and compositing workflows
  • Multi-layer comp workflows

nuke-comfyui-integration (Future)

Triggers: "comfyui", "ai", "denoise", "style transfer"

Use For:

  • ComfyUI-for-Nuke workflows
  • AI-powered comp elements
  • Neural network denoising

Core Patterns

1. NukeMCPLogger (ALWAYS USE)

Standard Pattern:

from nuke_mcp_logger import NukeMCPLogger

# Create logger
log = NukeMCPLogger(session_name="Task_Name")

try:
    log.info("Starting operation...")

    # Your Nuke operations
    node = nuke.createNode("Grade")
    log.increment_stat("nodes_created")

    log.success("Operation complete")

except Exception as e:
    log.error("Failed", e)

# Return to MCP
result = log.get_results()

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.
