The project's `menu` skill at `.claude/skills/menu/` shared the same `/menu` trigger as the user-level `~/.claude/skills/menu/` skill, so the global one won and the project inventory never surfaced. Renamed the project skill to `menu-comfy` so both can coexist. - `git mv .claude/skills/menu .claude/skills/menu-comfy` - Frontmatter `name`, header, trigger phrases, output example, and procedure- step reminder all switched to `menu-comfy` / `/menu-comfy`. - Two intentional references to the global `/menu` retained — they document the deliberate split so future contributors don't "fix" them back. - `docs/maintainers/README.md` companion-skills table row updated, with a one-line note about the collision split. Behavior change: `/menu-comfy` now lists project skills; `/menu` continues to list the global curated set. Docs-only — no runtime/code change.

Maintainer docs
Project-internal procedures. If you're cutting a release, forking a node, hitting the Comfy Registry API, or debugging CI — read these first.
These are docs for humans doing the work. The corresponding agent
workflows for Claude Code live in ../../.claude/skills/
and should be kept in sync with these prose docs.
Contents
| File | What it covers |
|---|---|
releasing.md |
Canonical step-by-step release procedure: branch → PR → publish-validate → squash-merge → tag → GitHub Release. Anti-patterns to avoid. The per-release tickbox mirror is .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/release_checklist.md. |
registry-api.md |
The Comfy Registry's undocumented version-management endpoints (deprecate, delete, query) reverse-engineered while cleaning up v0.1.0–0.1.5. Includes ready-to-paste curl commands and an optional GitHub Actions workflow YAML for codified version management. |
node-versioning.md |
Hard-won rules for changing INPUT_TYPES / RETURN_TYPES / class names without breaking saved user workflows. The five rules + the suffix-version pattern (MyNode → MyNodeV2) + the alias-then-deprecate migration path. |
curated-sidebar.md |
The "Curated Nodes" sidebar tab workflow. How to capture your in-ComfyUI favorites and ship them as the package's default via web/curated_defaults.json. Storage keys, data flow, reset procedure. |
workflows-sidebar.md |
The "Workflows" section of the same sidebar. Save canvas / save selection / directories / archive on collision / load with named tab. Storage shape, action semantics, reset procedure. |
dev-iteration-loop.md |
The fast iteration pattern we used to build the sidebar — the dev-sync loop, agent trigger phrases (go, dev-sync, paste-JSON), what survives across re-syncs vs what doesn't, push/publish gates. Read this when returning to UI work after a break. |
Read this first if you're confused about version numbers:
../reference/versioning.mdexplains the three independent version axes in this codebase (pack version, fork wrapper version, upstream pinned commit) and which skill/doc owns each one. Worth a one-time read before starting any version-bump work.
Companion agent skills
Skill (in .claude/skills/) |
Mirrors this doc |
|---|---|
license-pre-check |
Runs before any third-party fork; refuses to proceed on incompatible licenses. The principles also apply when a human is doing it manually. |
add-external-fork |
The forks/ workflow — clone outside MAIN, register in forks_manifest.yaml, namespace the IDs. Phase 0 calls license-pre-check. |
docs-sync |
Find-and-replace a version tag (or any string token) across docs, code constants, and manifests in one controlled pass. Used during fork wrapper version bumps. |
menu-comfy |
Lists all project skills with one-liners — quick inventory when you can't remember what's available. Distinct from the global /menu skill so the two don't collide. |
