Agent-friendly command-line tool for managing and executing ComfyUI workflow skills. Any AI agent that can run shell commands (Claude, Codex, OpenClaw, etc.) can use ComfyUI through this CLI.

Install · Quick Start · Commands · For AI Agents

Why comfyui-skill?

  • Agent-native — structured JSON output, pipe-friendly, designed for AI agents to call
  • Zero config — reads config.json and data/ from the current directory, no setup needed
  • Full lifecycle — discover, import, execute, manage workflows and dependencies in one tool
  • Multi-server — manage multiple ComfyUI instances, route jobs to different hardware

Install

pipx install comfyui-skill-cli

Development Mode

git clone https://github.com/HuangYuChuh/ComfyUI_Skill_CLI.git
cd ComfyUI_Skill_CLI
pipx install -e .

The -e flag (editable) links directly to your local source — any code change is reflected instantly.

Update

pipx upgrade comfyui-skill-cli

Quick Start

# 1. Go to your ComfyUI Skills project directory
cd /path/to/your-skills-project

# 2. Check server status
comfyui-skill server status

# 3. List available workflows
comfyui-skill list

# 4. Execute a workflow
comfyui-skill run local/txt2img --args '{"prompt": "a white cat"}'

Every command supports --json for structured output.

ID Convention

This CLI uses two types of IDs:

Notation Meaning Example
<workflow_id> Workflow identifier, format: server_id/workflow_name local/txt2img
<server_id> Server identifier local, remote-a100

When <workflow_id> omits the server prefix, the default server is used:

comfyui-skill run local/txt2img          # explicit server
comfyui-skill run txt2img                # uses default server
comfyui-skill run txt2img -s my_server   # override server via flag

comfyui-skill run local/txt2img --args '{...}' --json     # 4. execute
