z-image-txt2img

z-image-txt2img is a skill for Claude Code from artokun/comfyui-mcp. It costs 35 tokens per session (3,484 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of ComfyUI workflows for Z-Image, an image-generation model that turns text prompts into pictures and supports models, LoRAs, ControlNet, and sampling presets.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create text-to-image workflows, choose model variants, use negative prompts, apply LoRAs or ControlNet, and configure sampling steps.
Why use it?
It documents the model files and launch setting needed to avoid broken output, while explaining the differences between the Base and Turbo versions.

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

z-image-txt2img 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 9d 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.

Z-Image Text-to-Image Workflows

Launch flag. Z-Image does not sample correctly under --use-sage-attention (black / garbled output). Launch ComfyUI with --use-pytorch-cross-attention for Z-Image. See comfyui-launch-flags.

Overview

Z-Image is a 6B-parameter image generation model from Alibaba's Tongyi Lab using a Scalable Single-Stream DiT (S3-DiT) architecture. It uses a Qwen text encoder (not CLIP-L/T5). Its VAE shares the Flux VAE architecture (same tensor shapes, so the file is the same 320MB size) but ships different weights. It is NOT byte-identical to Flux's ae.safetensors and must be kept as a separate file (z-image-ae.safetensors) to avoid clobbering the Flux VAE. Two variants:

  1. Z-Image Base (and RedCraft finetune). Full model, supports negative prompts, LoRA training, ControlNet. 10-30 steps.
  2. Z-Image Turbo. DMD-distilled, 8-10 steps, no effective negative prompts (CFG baked in).

Models

RedCraft Redzimage DX1 (Installed — Combined Checkpoint)

Component Node Model Notes
Checkpoint CheckpointLoaderSimple redcraftRedzimageUpdatedJAN30_redzibDX1.safetensors 17GB, bundles UNET+CLIP+VAE

RedCraft is a Z-Image Base finetune by the RedCraft team. Designed for faster inference than stock Z-Image Base. Uses CheckpointLoaderSimple since it's a combined checkpoint, so no separate loaders are needed.

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.
