prompt-engineering

prompt-engineering is a skill for Claude Code from artokun/comfyui-mcp. It costs 28 tokens per session (3,031 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to writing text prompts for ComfyUI, a visual tool for building AI image workflows. It explains how prompt text is converted into image-generation instructions and how emphasis and model-specific wording affect the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Write and adjust positive and negative prompts, use word-weight syntax, work within text limits, and tailor prompts to different image models.
Why use it?
Prompt syntax and length limits can change how much attention the model gives to each part of a description. The guide helps avoid truncated prompts and unintended emphasis.

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

prompt-engineering 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 10d 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.

ComfyUI Prompt Engineering

CLIP Text Encoding Fundamentals

ComfyUI uses CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training) text encoders to convert text prompts into conditioning tensors. The CLIPTextEncode node takes a text string and a CLIP model, producing a CONDITIONING output for the KSampler.

Token Limit

CLIP processes text in 77-token chunks. Each word is typically 1-3 tokens. Prompts exceeding 77 tokens are silently truncated unless you use the BREAK token or a multi-clip encoding node.

Weight Syntax

Emphasis (Attention Weights)

Adjust how strongly the model attends to specific words or phrases:

Syntax Effect Equivalent Weight
(word:1.3) Increase emphasis by 30% Explicit weight 1.3
(word:0.7) Decrease emphasis by 30% Explicit weight 0.7
(word) Slight increase (word:1.1)
((word)) Moderate increase (word:1.21) — 1.1^2
(((word))) Strong increase (word:1.331) — 1.1^3
[word] Slight decrease (word:0.9091) — 1/1.1
[[word]] Moderate decrease (word:0.8264) — 1/1.1^2

Weight Rules

  • Valid range: 0.0 to 2.0 (going beyond 1.5 often causes artifacts)
  • Default weight: 1.0 for unmodified tokens
  • Nesting stacks multiplicatively: ((word)) = 1.1 * 1.1 = (word:1.21)
  • Phrases: (red sports car:1.3) applies weight to the entire phrase
  • Mixing: (detailed face:1.4), (blurry background:0.6), combined in one prompt

Examples

a (beautiful:1.3) woman with (flowing red hair:1.2), wearing a blue dress, (sharp focus:1.1)
(masterpiece:1.4), (best quality:1.3), a knight in (ornate armor:1.2), standing on a cliff, (dramatic lighting:1.1), cinematic

BREAK Token

The BREAK keyword forces CLIP to end the current 77-token chunk and start processing subsequent text in a new chunk. This is critical for long prompts.

When to Use BREAK

  • Prompt exceeds ~60 words (approaching the 77-token limit)
  • You want to separate conceptually distinct parts of the prompt
  • Certain details are being ignored (they may be past the 77-token cutoff)

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.

prompt-engineering is a skill published in the GitHub repository artokun/comfyui-mcp (730 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 3,031 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
