Twenty help pages said something the node does not do, missed an input or output, or gave an old default. Three tooltips had the same wrong facts. Text only; no behaviour or input changes.
AusBoss nodes: a workflow guide
Find the job in the table below, then read that node's help page before
wiring it. Each help page is js/docs/<node id>.md in this pack. ComfyUI
shows the same page in its node help panel. This guide ships with the pack.

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 inwidgets_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.
