About
cli-anything-comfyui is a command-line interface from the hkuds/cli-anything project for managing ComfyUI AI image-generation workflows through the ComfyUI REST API. Install it with pip install cli-anything-comfyui, then queue workflows, parameterize nodes, manage models, download generated images, and monitor the generation queue from terminal sessions or agent scripts. The skill follows the CLI-Anything pattern designed for AI agents and power users who automate Stable Diffusion and node-graph pipelines headlessly. Developers reach for cli-anything-comfyui when building agent pipelines that must trigger ComfyUI renders, poll queue status, and retrieve output files programmatically rather than operating the web UI manually.
- Workflow JSON execution
- Node parameter overrides
- Queue and poll renders
- Output asset retrieval
- Local ComfyUI server control

How do you control ComfyUI workflows from CLI?
Control ComfyUI workflow graphs from CLI so agents can parameterize nodes, queue renders, and fetch generated images programmatically.
Who is it for?
Developers automating ComfyUI Stable Diffusion pipelines who need headless workflow queuing and image retrieval for agent or CI scripts.
Skip if: Skip cli-anything-comfyui when you only need text-to-image via a hosted API like DALL-E without running a local ComfyUI server.
When should I use this skill?
Trigger cli-anything-comfyui when an agent must queue ComfyUI renders, swap model checkpoints, or poll the generation queue without opening the web UI.
What you get
Queued ComfyUI renders, parameterized workflow runs, downloaded image outputs, and monitored generation queue status from terminal commands.
- queued workflow runs
- downloaded generated images
- queue status reports
By the numbers
- Installable via pip install cli-anything-comfyui
- Wraps ComfyUI REST API for queue, model, and download operations

# Download all images from a prompt
cli-anything-comfyui images download-all --prompt-id <id> --output-dir ./outputsOutput Formats
All commands support dual output modes:
- Human-readable (default): Tables, colors, formatted text
- Machine-readable (
--jsonflag): Structured JSON for agent consumption
# Human output
cli-anything-comfyui system stats
# JSON output for agents
cli-anything-comfyui --json system statsFor AI Agents
When using this CLI programmatically:
1. Always use `--json` flag for parseable output 2. Check return codes - 0 for success, non-zero for errors 3. Parse stderr for error messages on failure 4. Use absolute paths for all file operations 5. Verify ComfyUI is running with system stats before other commands
