Summary

available_locally on a knowledge pick only covers templates and nodes. On a local install, the skill could steer the agent to a rank 1 oss pick whose weights are not on disk.

This extends rule 2 of "Curated knowledge" in comfy_cli/skills/comfy/SKILL.md. When routing is local, the agent runs comfy --json templates check <template> on an oss pick's template before recommending it. On missing-models it still names the pick, lists models.missing[] with each directory, and names the first oss pick that comes back runnable. It asks before downloading. A pick with no template is skipped.

Skill text only. attach() is untouched on purpose. templates check fetches template JSON and calls the local server, and discovery enrichment must never fetch.

Linear: BE-8974. Paired cloud PR with the same rule for the local agent: Comfy-Org/cloud#9368.

Testing

  • uv run --extra dev pytest tests/comfy_cli/test_knowledge.py tests/comfy_cli/test_command_mentions.py tests/comfy_cli/skills/test_installer.py tests/comfy_cli/command/test_nodes_cli.py tests/comfy_cli/command/test_transfer_download.py gives 328 passed, 1 skipped. These are the test files that read the skill file.
  • Full suite not run locally.
  • Not tried against a live local ComfyUI.

…E-8974)

available_locally only covers templates and nodes, so on a local install
the skill could steer the agent to a rank 1 oss pick whose weights are
not on disk. Rule 2 now tells it to run `comfy --json templates check`
on the pick's template when routing is local. On missing-models it
still names the pick, lists models.missing[] with each directory, and
names the first oss pick that comes back runnable.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The local OSS routing guidance now validates templates, reports missing model-file directories, selects the first runnable OSS pick, and requires approval before downloads. Picks without templates remain exempt.

Changes

Local model routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Local OSS routing rules
comfy_cli/skills/comfy/SKILL.md
OSS picks with templates require comfy --json templates check. missing-models results keep the pick as the answer and list each missing file directory. Other non-runnable results are not confirmed to run. The first runnable OSS pick is named, or none is. Downloads require approval.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 768d8

Template-less picks are valid routing alternatives under the repository contract, so the updated guidance is ready to merge after normal checks.

`templates check` exits with `template_not_found` before it computes a
verdict when a pick's template is not in the gallery, and `unknown` is a
verdict too. The rule only said what to do after `missing-models`, so the
walk down to the first runnable oss pick was undefined for those. Any
result that is not `runnable` now moves on, and the agent says so when no
oss pick is runnable.

🟠 High — The template value comes from the remotely fetched knowledge bundle and is only type-checked (pick_entry does _text(p.get("template"))), yet this line tells the agent to splice it straight into a shell command; a value containing ;, $(...), backticks, a leading -, or whitespace either breaks the lookup or executes arbitrary shell before templates check ever validates the name. Carry the same escaping caveat Rule 1 already has for user-supplied words: pass it as one quoted argument after --, and reject anything that is not a plain template name.

🟠 Hightemplates check reports custom_nodes_required without verifying those nodes are installed, and _compute_verdict returns runnable for a template with zero model references without ever contacting the server (the folder listing is guarded by if required:). "Name the first runnable one as what works today" therefore asserts a workflow works on no evidence and will recommend templates that fail at execution; qualify the wording and require reading models.required, custom_nodes_required, and warnings[] alongside the verdict.

🟡 Medium — The step is unconditional, but templates check lists /models/<folder> on the local server whenever the template declares models, so it hard-fails with server_not_running (exit 1) on the very common "installed but not launched" machine — local routing means no cloud credentials, not a running server. Give the rule a branch for the server being down, and note that templates check has no --where flag, so the global error-code table's "switch to --where cloud" advice does not apply here.

🟡 Mediummodels.missing[] is conservative, not proof of absence: templates check marks a file missing when its model folder 404s on the local server (e.g. a custom-node folder such as SEEDVR2) or when directory is not a single addressable path segment, and records that qualification in data.warnings[]. Telling the agent to flatly "say it is not installed" converts those into false negatives about files that are present — require reading warnings[] before asserting the negative.

🟡 Medium — The procedure branches only on missing-models and runnable, but _compute_verdict also returns api-required and unknown. api-required takes precedence over everything (including for an oss pick whose template merely matches the api_ name prefix or carries an API tag, which also hides missing files), and unknown comes back for a loader-ish template that declares no models; with no branch for either, the walk can exhaust every pick with no instruction for what to report, and api-required deserves a callout since running it spends credits.

🟡 Medium — "The next oss pick down" is unscoped: attach concatenates one _pick_entries list per matched capability and ranks are ascending only within a capability, and a single capability can mix subtypes (audio-generation ranks both music and speech). Stepping down the array can therefore present another capability's rank-1 pick, or a runnable TTS template, as the alternative to a missing music pick — scope the walk to entries sharing the same capability and still matching the user's intent.

🟡 Medium — Two cases this rule targets are left unhandled. A pick flagged available_locally: false is flagged precisely because its template is absent from the gallery index, and templates check resolves against that same index and exits 1 with template_not_found; and "a pick with no template has nothing to check" leaves such a pick recommendable as though it had passed. Say to skip the check in both cases and label the pick unverified rather than runnable.

🟢 Low — Scoping the check to oss picks silently skips other locally-runnable picks: pick_entry passes route through _text (yielding None for a missing or non-string value) and the bundle also uses route: "both", neither of which matches oss, so those picks keep a template but get recommended with no model verification. Broaden the condition to any pick that is not cloud-only. Raised by 1 of 6 reviewers (claude-opus-5-thinking-max edge-case).

Superseded by #875, which puts this check in code instead of skill text: comfy knowledge pick --check-local flags an oss pick whose model files are missing, and rule 2 of the skill already says what to do with an available_locally: false pick. Review kept finding cases this prose missed, and it edits the same lines #875 rewrites.
