In AI art creation, discovering the right recipe—the optimal combination of models, trigger words, prompts, and generation parameters—often matters more than tweaking individual settings.

Civitai Recipe Finder is a powerful set of custom nodes designed for ComfyUI, helping you quickly explore, reproduce, and analyze creative recipes from the Civitai community. It can even provide instant visual insights for your local models.

Whether you want to reproduce trending artworks in one click or dig deep into community usage trends, this toolkit offers efficient, intuitive, and flexible support.

Key Features

🔍 Visual Recipe Discovery Instantly browse popular Civitai artworks for a given local model and reproduce their full recipe (prompts, parameters, LoRA combinations, workflows, etc.).
⚡ Instant Trigger Word Lookup Extract official trigger words and metadata trigger words from any LoRA model.
📊 Community Trend Analysis Aggregate hundreds of community images to identify the most frequent prompts, samplers, CFG scales, step counts, and more.
🔗 Golden Combination Insights Discover which LoRAs are most commonly paired with a specific model.
🛠 Modular & Extensible Provided as a flexible node suite—lightweight for daily use, yet powerful enough for complex deep-dive workflows.

Node Suite

Recipe Finder consists of three categories of nodes to cover different usage scenarios.

1. Visual Recipe Finder

`Civitai Recipe Gallery`

Purpose: Browse community galleries for a selected local model and reproduce the full recipe in one click.
New Features:
- 🚀 One-Click Workflow Loading – Safely load the original workflow of an image (with ComfyUI-Manager support, auto-opens in a new tab).
- 💾 Save Original File – Download the unmodified original image (with full workflow metadata) to your output folder.

Output Port	Type	Description
`image`	`IMAGE`	Selected community example image
`info_md`	`STRING`	Unified Markdown recipe report (connect to `MarkdownPresenter`)
`recipe_params`	`RECIPE_PARAMS`	Parameter pipeline (to be unpacked by `Get Parameters from Recipe`)

⚠️ First Run Notice

On the first run, all local model hashes will be calculated, which may take a while.

Cache is stored in Civitai_Recipe_Finder/data.

Subsequent runs only process new models.

`Get Parameters from Recipe`

Purpose: Unpacks the recipe_params pipeline into individual outputs compatible with downstream nodes (e.g., KSampler).
Outputs: ckpt_name, positive_prompt, negative_prompt, seed, steps, cfg, sampler_name, scheduler, width, height, denoise

2. In-Depth Model Analysis

Core node: Model Analyzer (Checkpoint / LoRA)

Purpose: A fully integrated engine that performs data fetching → community statistics → parameter analysis → unified reporting. Replaces the old Data Fetcher + multiple Analyzer nodes.
Inputs: model_name, image_limit, sort, nsfw_level, filter_type, summary_top_n, force_refresh
Outputs:
- full_report_md – Complete Markdown report
- fetch_summary – Fetch summary (e.g., “Successfully analyzed 100 items”)
- params_pipe – Pipeline of most common parameters (to be unpacked by Get Parameters from Analysis)

`Get Parameters from Analysis`

Purpose: Unpacks the params_pipe into the most common parameter set used in the community.
Outputs: Same as Get Parameters from Recipe.

3. Lightweight Tool

`Lora Trigger Words`

Purpose: Instantly retrieve trigger words for a given LoRA model.
Outputs:
- metadata_triggers – Extracted from local metadata
- civitai_triggers – From Civitai API
- triggers_md – Comparison table in Markdown

Installation & Usage

Place the project folder under ComfyUI/custom_nodes/, for example:
```
ComfyUI/custom_nodes/CivitaiProject/
```
Install dependencies:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Restart ComfyUI. The nodes will appear in the Civitai menu.

💡 Tip: The Markdown Presenter node can be found under the Display menu or by searching for "Markdown Presenter".

Example Workflows

Within ComfyUI: Templates → Custom Nodes → ComfyUI-Civitai-Recipe
From Repository: example_workflows

Version Compatibility

Migration for ≤ v3.1 Go to Settings → CivitaiUtils → Migration to migrate old JSON cache files into the new database.

Changelog

[3.2.0] - 2025-09-23

Added

Database Management Panel – Clear analyzer, API, and trigger word caches in one click.
Video Resource Support – Recipe Gallery and Model Analyzer now support video-based recipes.

Changed

Core Architecture Refactor – Cache system upgraded from scattered JSON files to a unified SQLite database for speed, stability, and future extensibility.
Simplified Node Workflow – Legacy nodes merged into a single Model Analyzer node.
Naming Consistency:
- Recipe Params Parser → Get Parameters from Recipe
- Analyzer params parser → Get Parameters from Analysis
Database Tools – New 🗃️ Database & Models panel: view scanned models, refresh database, clear cache, and migrate from legacy JSON cache.
