comfyui-research

comfyui-research is a skill for Claude Code from MCKRUZ/ComfyUI-Expert. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,651 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research helper that checks recent ComfyUI models, techniques, tutorials, code repositories, and Hugging Face resources. ComfyUI is a tool for building AI image and video workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research ComfyUI updates, check whether workflow guidance is stale, and gather findings from YouTube, GitHub, and Hugging Face.
Why use it?
ComfyUI changes quickly, so older instructions may no longer match current models or custom nodes. It helps identify new information and flag references that may be out of date.

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

comfyui-research 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 184 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ComfyUI Research Skill

Keeps the VideoAgent knowledge base current by monitoring sources, extracting knowledge, and flagging stale information.

Triggers

  • On demand: User invokes /research comfyui or asks to check for updates
  • Session start: Quick staleness check (read references/staleness-report.md)
  • Before workflow generation: Targeted check if the specific model/technique is >2 months old

Research Pipeline

1. Discovery

Search for new developments across three source types:

YouTube Channels (technique extraction):

Channel Focus URL
Pixaroma ComfyUI tutorials, GGUF, beginner-friendly youtube.com/@pixaroma
Kijai Advanced nodes, model implementations youtube.com/@Kijai
Sebastian Kamph ComfyUI workflows, automation youtube.com/@sebastiankamph
Olivio Sarikas AI art techniques, ComfyUI youtube.com/@OlivioSarikas
Matt Wolfe AI tool roundups youtube.com/@maboroshi
Nerdy Rodent Stable Diffusion deep dives youtube.com/@NerdyRodent

GitHub Repositories (node/model updates):

Repository What to Check
comfyanonymous/ComfyUI Releases, breaking changes
Kosinkadink/ComfyUI-AnimateDiff-Evolved New motion modules
cubiq/ComfyUI_IPAdapter_plus Maintenance status, forks
ltdrdata/ComfyUI-Impact-Pack FaceDetailer updates
Wan-AI/Wan2.1-Preview New model versions
hzwer/Practical-RIFE Interpolation updates
resemble-ai/chatterbox Voice model updates
SWivid/F5-TTS TTS updates

HuggingFace (model releases):

  • Trending models: huggingface.co/models?sort=trending
  • Filter: diffusers, video, audio, text-to-image
  • Watch for: New FLUX variants, Wan updates, identity models, voice models

2. Extraction

For each discovery, extract structured knowledge:

From YouTube videos: Use youtube-video-analyst or youtube-chapter-clipper skills to:

  1. Get transcript
  2. Identify new models mentioned (name, source, requirements)
  3. Identify new techniques (workflow changes, parameter discoveries)
  4. Identify new nodes (package name, what it does)
  5. Note any benchmark results or comparisons

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.
