ComfyUI Workflow Research

Core Principles

1. Discover, don't assume. Node APIs evolve. Query ComfyUI for current schemas.
2. Programmatic workflow manipulation. Workflows are large JSON—use scripts, not direct editing.
3. Prefer core nodes. Only install custom nodes when core lacks functionality.

Environment Discovery

Check if server running: curl -s http://localhost:8188/object_info | head -c 100

If not running, ask user for ComfyUI path.
