# ComfyUI custom nodes

Most nodes live in standalone repos, **symlinked** into `../comfy/custom_nodes/`. Edit
the source repo, never the symlink.

## Out of tree

| Node | Repo / path | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Spectrum KSampler + mod-guidance | https://github.com/sorryhyun/ComfyUI-Spectrum-KSampler | ships DCW scalar default `+0.01` + `auto` mode |
| PiD decode | https://github.com/sorryhyun/ComfyUI-Anima-PiD | symlinked as `comfyui-anima-pid` |
| EasyControl KSampler | `~/ComfyUI-EasyControl-KSamplerCompat` | |
| Block Compile | https://github.com/sorryhyun/ComfyUI-Anima-BlockCompile | standalone at `~/ComfyUI-Anima-BlockCompile`, symlinked as `comfyui-anima-blockcompile` |
| Anima Adapter Loader | https://github.com/sorryhyun/ComfyUI-Anima_lora-Adapter | Adapter / FeRA / Soft Tokens loaders; standalone at `~/ComfyUI-Anima_lora-Adapter`. **Read its `CLAUDE.md` for the `forward_hook`-not-override invariant** |
| Anima Tagger | inside the `anime_tools` repo (`comfyui/anima_tagger/` there) | symlinked as `comfyui-anima-tagger`; imports `anime_tools.tagger` and vendors nothing. The standalone `ComfyUI-Anima-Tagger` repo is **retired but still on disk** — don't edit it |

## In tree

Under `custom_nodes/`: `comfyui-anima-directedit/`, `comfyui-anima-register/`,
`comfyui-anima-trainer/` (daemon-backed one-shot trainer).

## Vendor trees

Several nodes carry a `_vendor/` subset of the live tree. **Regenerate with `make
vendor-sync` (`scripts/release/sync_vendor.py`), never `cp` by hand** — and re-run it
before every node publish.
