* refactor(nodes): drop keyframe_batch alias from Easy Image Batch The keyframe_batch input was a deprecated alias of keyframes_insert, added in 0.4.1 during PR #246 review to keep pre-rename workflows loading. The old name only ever existed in unreleased dev builds before the rename, so no published workflow depends on it and the alias only cluttered the node with a second IMAGE input. Remove the input, its parameter, and the alias-routing fallback; the node now exposes a single keyframes_insert insert input. Tests and the behavior spec updated; CHANGELOG notes the removal under [Unreleased]. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(policy): make backward compatibility opt-in for Koolook nodes Invert the default: backward compatibility is no longer a standing constraint for Koolook-created nodes (the root k_*.py custom nodes). By default, make the cleanest change — rename/drop/reorder IDs, inputs, and outputs freely, no deprecation aliases or _v2 suffixes. Compatibility with saved workflows is only preserved when the maintainer explicitly says "check backward compatibility". Forks are explicitly excluded: anything under forks/ (including the Koolook-original nodes exposed via SKIP_VERSION_SUFFIX) keeps full back-compat discipline by default, no request needed. The __koolook_vX_Y_Z collision suffix always applies. Scoped across the binding instruction files and skills: CLAUDE.md, copilot-instructions, node-versioning.md, versioning.md, and the preflight-release / add-external-fork / tdd skills. The preflight workflows check is reframed as a drift detector for Koolook IDs and a hard back-compat gate for fork IDs.

ComfyUI-Koolook
Kforge Labs for ComfyUI: a project-kit sidebar plus Koolook nodes for VFX, image, and video workflows.
Start here: KForge Labs ComfyUI-Koolook overview
That overview explains the sidebar, snapshots, saved workflows, modules, recovery tools, and included nodes for new users.
The main experience is the Kforge Labs sidebar. It helps you keep a project setup together: favorite nodes, saved workflows, reusable modules, tags, snapshots, and recovery tools.
Kforge Labs Sidebar
Use the sidebar as a reusable project kit.
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Snapshots | Save and load the whole Kforge Labs state: favorite nodes, workflows, modules, tags, archive, and recovery data. |
| Search | Find nodes, workflows, directories, and tags from one field. Tags keep exact capitalization, so Depth and depth can be separate folders. |
| Nodes | Keep favorite nodes close, grouped by theme or repository name. |
| Workflows | Save the whole script, save a selection of nodes, load workflows, or insert saved modules into the current canvas. |
| Recovery | Use autosaves, starter presets, snapshot library settings, and missing-pack install helpers. |

LTX Director (Koolook) | Koolook/PromptRelay |
The root Koolook nodes and the slim Radiance Koolook VAE wrappers have no
extra Python dependencies beyond torch, which ComfyUI already requires.
The video wrappers require Video Helper Suite, and the LTX Director fork is
for workflows that already use the LTX / Prompt Relay node ecosystem.
Install
ComfyUI-Manager
- Open ComfyUI Manager.
- Choose Install Custom Nodes.
- Install by Git URL:
https://github.com/malkuthro/ComfyUI-Koolook.git - Restart ComfyUI.
- Open the Kforge Labs sidebar tab.
Manual
Clone this repository into ComfyUI/custom_nodes/:
git clone https://github.com/malkuthro/ComfyUI-Koolook.git
Restart ComfyUI after installation.
One install at a time. If you already installed Kforge Labs via ComfyUI Manager, it lives at
custom_nodes/koolook/(the Manager / Registry-derived folder name). A secondcustom_nodes/ComfyUI-Koolook/created bygit cloneis a parallel install — ComfyUI loads BOTH on every boot, both register the same routes and sidebar tab, and the workflow store silently corrupts on every restart. From v0.3.8 the plugin detects this and prints a critical log naming both paths, disabling the non-winning copy — but the cleanest fix is to remove one folder. Pick the install method you want and stick with it.

Troubleshooting
| What you see | What it usually means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The Kforge Labs tab does not appear | ComfyUI needs a restart, or the extension did not load | Restart ComfyUI and check the terminal for [Koolook] messages. |
| The Help guide does not open | The browser blocked the popup | Allow popups for the ComfyUI page, or open web/guide/index.html directly. |
| Missing custom nodes after loading a workflow | One or more node packs used by that workflow are not installed | In Kforge Labs, use Tools → Install missing packs, or use ComfyUI Manager's Install Missing Custom Nodes flow. |
| Snapshot save/load fails | The snapshot library path may be missing, read-only, or unavailable | Use Snapshot → Save to... or Load from... and choose a writable folder. |
| A loaded snapshot looks older than expected | Named saves and auto-saves are intentionally separate | In Snapshot → Load, select the snapshot and check Recovery auto-saves for a newer periodic/pre-load recovery. |
Support
For reproducible bugs, open a
GitHub issue.
For the fastest answer, include your ComfyUI version, Koolook version,
operating system, install method, terminal log, browser console errors, and
steps to reproduce. See SUPPORT.md for the exact checklist.
Stability
For production work, install a pinned release tag or commit instead of following a moving branch head. Node IDs are treated carefully so saved ComfyUI workflows continue to load across compatible updates.
