What this skill does


# ComfyUI API Skill

Connect to ComfyUI's REST API to execute workflows, monitor progress, and retrieve outputs.

## Configuration

- **Default URL**: `http://127.0.0.1:8188`
- **Custom URL**: Set in project manifest or pass as parameter
- **Timeout**: 30s for API calls, no timeout for generation polling

## Two Modes

### Online Mode (ComfyUI Running)

Full API access. Preferred mode for interactive work.

1. **Test connection**: `GET /system_stats`
2. **Discover capabilities**: Use `comfyui-inventory` skill
3. **Queue workflow**: `POST /prompt`
4. **Poll for results**: `GET /history/{prompt_id}` every 5 seconds
5. **Retrieve outputs**: `GET /view?filename=...`

### Offline Mode (No Server)

Export workflow JSON for manual loading in ComfyUI.

1. Generate workflow JSON following ComfyUI's format
2. Save to `projects/{project}/workflows/{name}.json`
3. Instruct user to drag-drop into ComfyUI

## API Operations

### Check Server Status

```bash
curl http://127.0.0.1:8188/system_stats
```

**Response fields:**
- `system.os`: Operating system
- `system.comfyui_version`: Version string
- `devices[0].name`: GPU name
- `devices[0].vram_total`: Total VRAM bytes
- `devices[0].vram_free`: Free VRAM bytes

### Queue a Workflow

```bash
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8188/prompt \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt": WORKFLOW_JSON, "client_id": "video-agent"}'
```

**WORKFLOW_JSON format:**
```json
{
  "1": {
    "class_type": "LoadCheckpoint",
    "inputs": {
      "ckpt_name": "flux1-dev.safetensors"
    }
  },
  "2": {
    "class_type": "CLIPTextEncode",
    "inputs": {
      "text": "photorealistic portrait...",
      "clip": ["1", 1]
    }
  }
}
```

Each node is keyed by a string ID. Inputs reference other nodes as `["{node_id}", {output_index}]`.

**Response:**
```json
{"prompt_id": "abc-123-def", "number": 1}
```

### Poll for Completion

```bash
curl http://127.0.0.1:8188/history/abc-123-def
```

**Incomplete**: Returns `{}` (empty object)
**Complete**: Returns execution data with outputs:
```json
{
  "abc-123-def": {
    "outputs": {
      "9": {
        "images": [{"filename": "ComfyUI_00001.png", "subfolder": "", "type": "output"}]
      }
    },
    "status": {"completed": true}
  }
}
```

### Retrieve Output Image

```bash
curl "http://127.0.0.1:8188/view?filename=ComfyUI_00001.png&subfolder=&type=output" -o output.png
```

### Upload Reference Image

```bash
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8188/upload/image \
  -F "[email protected]" \
  -F "subfolder=input" \
  -F "type=input"
```

### Cancel Current Generation

```bash
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8188/interrupt
```

### Free VRAM

```bash
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8188/free \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"unload_models": true}'
```

## Polling Strategy

ComfyUI doesn't support WebSocket in CLI context. Use REST polling:

1. Queue workflow via `POST /prompt` → get `prompt_id`
2. Poll `GET /history/{prompt_id}` every **5 seconds**
3. On empty response: generation in progress, continue polling
4. On populated response: check `status.completed`
5. If `completed: true`, extract outputs
6. If error in status, route to `comfyui-troubleshooter`

**Timeout**: Warn user after 10 minutes of polling. Video generation (Wan 14B) can take 15-30 minutes.

## Workflow Validation

Before queuing any workflow:

1. Read `state/inventory.json` (via `comfyui-inventory`)
2. For each node in workflow: verify `class_type` exists in installed nodes
3. For each model reference: verify file exists in installed models
4. Flag missing items with:
   - Node: suggest `ComfyUI-Manager` install command
   - Model: provide download link from `references/models.md`
   - Version mismatch: suggest update

## Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Action |
|-------|-------|--------|
| Connection refused | ComfyUI not running | Switch to offline mode, save JSON |
| 400 Bad Request | Invalid workflow JSON | Validate node connections |
| 500 Internal Error | ComfyUI crash | Suggest restart, check logs |
| Timeout (no response) | Server overloaded | Wait and retry once |

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
