Markdown# 🎭 ComfyUI Dynamic Dropdowns & Assistant

A self-contained, high-efficiency custom node system and Windows desktop companion app for ComfyUI. This tool eliminates canvas clutter by consolidating multiple text attribute dropdowns (e.g., hair lengths, colors, styles, outfits, lighting) into a single, cohesive comma-separated output block—serving it simultaneously as a raw string and an encoded conditioning prompt.

## ✨ Features

* **📦 100% Self-Contained Architecture:** No global asset messy paths. The custom node scans its own local `lists/` subfolder, ensuring absolute portability. If you copy the node folder to another machine, it works instantly.
* **🧠 Dual Prompt Injection Engine:** Outputs both a raw `STRING` (for prompt text stacking/debugging) and a pre-tokenized `CONDITIONING` block (to wire directly into KSampler slots, bypassing separate Text Encode nodes).
* **💻 Desktop Companion Utility (`Node Builder Assistant.exe`):** A zero-dependency, hardware-accelerated Windows UI tool that lets you visually build, update, and manage your custom node structures offline without writing a single line of Python.
* **🧼 Automatic Formatting & Cleaning:** The node backend strips out double quotes (`"`), trailing backslashes (`\`), empty rows, and handles string concatenation automatically, preventing messy trailing commas in your generation prompts.
