AusBoss nodes: a guide for AI agents

Give this page to an AI agent and it can pick the right AusBoss node for a job, wire it into a workflow, and find the help for every input. It ships with the pack, so it is also in your ComfyUI install, under custom_nodes/<this pack>/js/docs/agents/.

If you are the agent: find the job in the table below, then read that node's help page before you wire it. Each help page is js/docs/<node id>.md in this pack. ComfyUI shows the same page in its node help panel.

Every node's display name ends in 🆎 and sits under 🆎 AusBoss/<group> in the node menu. In a workflow file and in the API, a node is named by its id, the AUSBOSS_NODES_... key above.

Before you edit a workflow

Read settings by name. A saved workflow keeps each node's settings twice: by position in widgets_values, and by name in widgets_values_named. Read and write by name, and keep both copies in step.
Look at a node's inputs and outputs in the running ComfyUI: GET /object_info/<node id> lists them with their types and defaults.
Inputs never get renamed or reordered after a release, so a workflow that worked keeps working.
Media loaders start blank in the example workflows. Put in the file the person wants to use before you queue.

Example workflows

example_workflows/ in this pack holds complete workflows, each with a picture of what it makes. Each one starts with a Workflow Note that lists the model files it needs and where they go. Start from the closest one rather than building from nothing.

When something goes wrong

Read the node's help page again, including its "Technical details" or "Notes" part when it has one.
Search the pack's GitHub issues: https://github.com/ausboss/ComfyUI-AusBoss/issues
A new bug report should name the ComfyUI version, the pack version from the console banner, the node, and the smallest workflow that shows it.
