Comfyui Inventory

ComfyUI Inventory Skill

Discovers what's installed in the user's ComfyUI instance and caches results for workflow validation.

Purpose

Every workflow generation MUST be preceded by an inventory check. This prevents:

• Referencing models that aren't downloaded
• Using nodes that aren't installed
• Exceeding VRAM limits

Two Discovery Modes

Online Mode (ComfyUI API Running)

Query the live server for authoritative information.

1. System info:

curl http://127.0.0.1:8188/system_stats

Extracts: GPU name, total VRAM, free VRAM, ComfyUI version.

2. Installed nodes:

curl http://127.0.0.1:8188/object_info

Returns all registered node classes with their input/output specifications.

3. Installed models (per type):

curl http://127.0.0.1:8188/models/checkpoints
curl http://127.0.0.1:8188/models/loras
curl http://127.0.0.1:8188/models/vae
curl http://127.0.0.1:8188/models/controlnet
curl http://127.0.0.1:8188/models/clip
curl http://127.0.0.1:8188/models/clip_vision
curl http://127.0.0.1:8188/models/upscale_models
curl http://127.0.0.1:8188/models/diffusion_models

Offline Mode (Directory Scan)

When ComfyUI isn't running, scan the filesystem directly.

Requires: ComfyUI installation path (e.g., C:\ComfyUI)

Scan directories:

{ComfyUI}/models/checkpoints/    → .safetensors, .ckpt
{ComfyUI}/models/loras/          → .safetensors
{ComfyUI}/models/vae/            → .safetensors, .pt
{ComfyUI}/models/controlnet/     → .safetensors, .pth
{ComfyUI}/models/clip/           → .safetensors
{ComfyUI}/models/clip_vision/    → .safetensors
{ComfyUI}/models/upscale_models/ → .pth, .safetensors
{ComfyUI}/models/diffusion_models/ → .safetensors
{ComfyUI}/models/ipadapter/      → .safetensors, .bin
{ComfyUI}/models/instantid/      → .bin
{ComfyUI}/models/insightface/    → .onnx + folders
{ComfyUI}/models/facerestore_models/ → .pth
{ComfyUI}/models/ultralytics/bbox/ → .pt
{ComfyUI}/custom_nodes/          → folder names = node packages

Custom node detection: List directories under custom_nodes/. Each directory name corresponds to a node package (e.g., ComfyUI_IPAdapter_plus, ComfyUI-Impact-Pack).

Cache Format

Save results to state/inventory.json:

  ]
}

Workflow Validation

Given a workflow JSON, validate against inventory:

For each node:
  1. Check class_type against known node classes
  2. If missing: identify which custom_node package provides it
  3. Suggest install: "Install via ComfyUI-Manager: {package_name}"

For each model reference:
  1. Check filename against inventory models of that type
  2. If missing: look up in references/models.md for download link
  3. Report: "Missing: {filename} - Download from {url} -> {path}"

Common Node-to-Package Mapping

Cache Freshness

• Cache is valid for 1 hour during active sessions
• Invalidate cache when user installs new models/nodes
• Force refresh: scan-inventory.ps1 or API re-query

Integration

• Called by comfyui-workflow-builder before generating workflows
• Called by comfyui-character-gen (via agent wrapper) for model selection
• Called by comfyui-troubleshooter when diagnosing missing model errors
• Results stored in state/inventory.json for all skills to reference
