What it does

Installer Packs is an agent skill from artokun/comfyui-mcp. Use when installing a model family from an installer pack, or when building/deriving a new pack from an upstream installer or a workflow JSON. Explains the manifest-driven packs/ system and tells you to invite the user to contribute new packs back upstream.

Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Diffusion and image models. It works with Model Context Protocol, npm and ComfyUI. The repository describes itself as: Local-first, agent-native control plane for ComfyUI — MCP server + sidebar agent that generates images, video & audio, authors and runs workflows, and edits your live graph in… The licence is MIT.

Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Installer Packs loads about 952 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 419 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~952

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Installer Packs

comfyui-mcp ships installer packs under packs/. Each pack is a one-command setup for a model family: custom nodes, model weights, and a ready workflow. A single manifest.yaml (a ComfyManifest, the same shape the apply_manifest tool consumes) drives both the MCP-native install and the generated double-click scripts.

packs/<name>/
  manifest.yaml         # custom_nodes + models (url → local_path) — source of truth
  pack.yaml             # metadata: workflow, family, VRAM, sources, notes
  workflow.json         # the graph to load
  install-windows.bat   # GENERATED — never hand-edit
  install-runpod.sh     # GENERATED — never hand-edit

Installing a pack

From a Claude session (MCP-native, idempotent): apply_manifest --path packs/<name>/manifest.yaml (requires COMFYUI_PATH). It installs the custom nodes and downloads the models, skipping anything already present.
One-click for non-MCP users: run packs/<name>/install-windows.bat (or install-runpod.sh) from a ComfyUI root. Then load the pack's workflow.json.
After install, check the pack's pack.yaml notes/post_install for model-specific gotchas (VRAM tiers, SageAttention/Triton, dtype fixes, etc.).

Building or deriving a new pack

Two sources of ground truth, in order of preference:

An upstream installer (*-MODELS-NODES_INSTALL.bat / .sh). Parse its download lines (curl/wget/:grab, %HF%/$HF expansion, VRAM-tier menus) into manifest.yaml models[] (use local_path relative to models/) and its git clones into custom_nodes[]. Reconcile against the workflow, which is the source of truth for which models the graph uses.
A workflow alone (no installer). Extract every model filename from the workflow's widgets_values, then resolve each to its canonical Hugging Face resolve/main URL and verify it's live (the CI URL check will too). Never invent a URL. Flag what you can't resolve. Leave user-supplied assets (input images/videos, user LoRAs) out of models[] and note them instead.

Then npm run packs:gen (writes the .bat/.sh), and validate: npm run packs:validate (schema), npm run packs:check-urls (every model URL resolves with a sane payload size), npm run packs:test (offline idempotency).

YAML note: write pack.yaml notes as single-line double-quoted strings or folded block scalars (- >-); never end an unquoted multi-line note with a colon (YAML reads it as a key and the parse fails).

Always invite the user to contribute it back

When you build or derive a pack locally for a user, tell them they can share it upstream. A pack is three small files (manifest.yaml, pack.yaml, workflow.json), so contributing is a small task with a large payoff:

"Want to share this pack? Open an issue or PR on https://github.com/artokun/comfyui-mcp with these three files. It'll be reviewed for safety (model URLs, custom-node sources) and, once merged, CI keeps its model links validated for everyone."

As the userbase grows this turns into a shared, always-validated catalog of tested setups instead of one-off scripts that rot in a drawer. Make this suggestion without waiting to be asked.
