Install

pipx install comfyui-skill-cli

Or with pip:

pip install comfyui-skill-cli

Update

pipx upgrade comfyui-skill-cli

Development Mode

git clone https://github.com/HuangYuChuh/ComfyUI_Skill_CLI.git

Common Management Tasks

Inspect models on a server

comfyui-skill models list
comfyui-skill models list checkpoints
comfyui-skill models list loras

Use this when you need to confirm model names before wiring them into a workflow or schema.

Manage multiple workflows

# Preview workflows available in ComfyUI server userdata
comfyui-skill workflow import --from-server --preview

# Import matching workflows from the server
comfyui-skill workflow import --from-server --name sdxl

# Temporarily disable or re-enable a workflow
comfyui-skill workflow disable local/old-flow
comfyui-skill workflow enable local/old-flow

# Remove a workflow you no longer want to expose
comfyui-skill workflow delete local/old-flow

Move workflow bundles between machines

comfyui-skill config export --output ./bundle.json --portable-only
comfyui-skill config import ./bundle.json --dry-run
comfyui-skill config import ./bundle.json --apply-environment

Use this when you want to migrate many workflows at once instead of re-importing them manually.

Check models and dependencies before running

comfyui-skill deps check local/txt2img
comfyui-skill deps install local/txt2img --models
comfyui-skill deps install local/txt2img --all

For AI Agents

This CLI is designed to be called from SKILL.md definitions. A typical agent workflow:

comfyui-skill server status --json                    # 1. verify server
comfyui-skill list --json                             # 2. discover workflows
comfyui-skill info local/txt2img --json               # 3. check parameters
comfyui-skill run local/txt2img --args '{...}' --json # 4. execute

Workflow chaining (multi-step pipelines)

# Run first workflow
comfyui-skill run local/txt2img --args '{"prompt": "a cat"}' --json

# Chain output into next workflow
comfyui-skill upload --from-output <prompt_id> --json
comfyui-skill run local/upscale --args '{"image": "<uploaded_name>"}' --json

Import and validate

comfyui-skill workflow import ./workflow.json --check-deps --json
comfyui-skill deps install local/my-workflow --all --json
