# ComfyUI Quick Start - Prompt Orchestration Nodes
Get started with prompt orchestration in ComfyUI in under 5 minutes!
---
## 🚀 Installation (30 seconds)
1. **Copy folder to ComfyUI**:
```
Copy comfyui_nodes → ComfyUI/custom_nodes/comfyui_prompt_orchestration
```
2. **Restart ComfyUI**
3. **Verify**: Look for "Prompt Orchestration" category in Add Node menu
✅ **Done!** If you see the category, you're ready to go.
---
## 🎯 Your First Workflow (2 minutes)
### Step 1: Create Basic Workflow
1. **Right-click canvas** → Add Node
2. **Navigate**: Prompt Orchestration → Lighting Modifier (Single)
3. **Connect**:
```
[Your Text Input] → [Lighting Modifier] → [CLIP Text Encode] → [Your Pipeline]
```
### Step 2: Configure Node
In the Lighting Modifier node:
- **text**: Enter your base prompt (e.g., "sports car on highway")
- **modifier_id**: Set to `7` (golden hour - most popular)
- **preserve_base**: Keep as `True`
### Step 3: Generate
Run your workflow! The prompt will automatically get golden hour lighting.
**Result**:
```
Input: "sports car on highway"
Output: "sports car on highway, golden hour, warm low-angle side-light, clear sky"
```

## 🔧 Settings Guide
### Lighting Modifier Settings
**preserve_base**:
- ✅ **True** (recommended): Adds lighting to your prompt
- ❌ **False**: Replaces lighting keywords in prompt
**When to use False**: If your prompt already has lighting terms you want to replace
---
### Batch Variation Settings
**category**:
- **"all"**: All 20 modifiers (use for full exploration)
- **"dry"**: 16 modifiers (clear weather only)
- **"wet"**: 4 modifiers (dramatic wet scenes only)
- **"custom"**: Your specific IDs
**custom_ids** (when category="custom"):
```
Examples:
"7" → Just golden hour
"1,7,18" → Sunrise, golden hour, blue hour wet
"3,4,11" → Late morning, midday, night
```
---
### Preset Collection Settings
**preset**:
- **"key_moments"**: Best variety (6 vars) - 🌟 START HERE
- **"commercial"**: Product photos (4 vars)
- **"artistic"**: Creative projects (7 vars)
- **"full_day_cycle"**: Complete day (16 vars)
- **"wet_night"**: Dramatic night (4 vars)

## 💰 Cost Saving Tips
### Tip 1: Preview First
```
[Text] → [Lighting Modifier] → [Show Text Node]
```
See the prompt BEFORE rendering to avoid wasted generations.
### Tip 2: Use Key Moments
Instead of all 20 modifiers (expensive!), use "key_moments" preset (6 variations).
### Tip 3: Test with Low Steps
Use your batch variations with low step count first, then re-render winners at high quality.
---
## ⚡ Pro Tips
### Tip 1: Chain Modifiers for Complex Lighting
```
[Text] → [Modifier 7: golden hour] → [Modifier 19: wet road] → [CLIP]
```
Result: Golden hour with wet reflections!
### Tip 2: Use Random Modifier for Exploration
```
[Text] → [Random Modifier] → [Show "used_modifier_id"] → [CLIP]
```
Let the system surprise you, then see which modifier worked!
### Tip 3: Combine with Wildcards
```
[Wildcard: "__car__"] → [Lighting Modifier] → [CLIP]
```
Different cars, same perfect lighting!
### Tip 4: Save Preset Workflows
Save workflow with your favorite modifier settings, load when needed.
### Tip 5: Use Combiner for Complex Prompts
```
[Subject] ──┐
[Location] ─┤→ [Combiner] → [Lighting] → [CLIP]
[Details] ──┘
```

## 🐛 Troubleshooting Quick Fixes
### Problem: Nodes don't appear
**Fix**: Restart ComfyUI completely (not just refresh)
### Problem: Output is empty
**Fix**: Check that text input is actually connected
### Problem: All variations are the same
**Fix**: Use category="all" or specify more custom_ids
### Problem: Style not working
**Fix**: Make sure you selected a style (not left on "custom" without custom_style text)
