Setup & Installation
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
What This Skill Does
comfy-cli manages ComfyUI installations from the command line. It handles installing ComfyUI with the correct GPU backend, managing custom nodes, downloading models, and running API workflows against a live server.
Replaces manual git cloning, pip installs, and browser downloads with a single CLI that also handles snapshots and dependency resolution across nodes.
When to use it
- Setting up ComfyUI on a new machine with the right GPU drivers
- Installing and updating custom node packs like ComfyUI-Impact-Pack
- Downloading gated models from CivitAI or Hugging Face
- Running a workflow JSON file against a remote ComfyUI instance
- Diagnosing which custom node broke a working setup using bisect
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: install ComfyUI on an Apple Silicon Mac, add the Impact Pack, and run a workflow
- 1Run `comfy install --m-series` to install ComfyUI with the correct Metal backend
- 2Run `comfy launch --background` to start the server
- 3Run `comfy node install ComfyUI-Impact-Pack` to add the node
- 4Run `comfy run --workflow workflow_api.json --wait --verbose` to execute the workflow
ComfyUI runs in the background, the Impact Pack is installed, and the workflow completes with verbose output in the terminal
Requirements
Accounts, API keys, or tools you or your AI assistant may need to set up while using this skill.
