Genor-Comfy-Gate — Comprehensive Skill

GitHub: https://github.com/GenorTG/Genor-Opencaw-Comfyui-Gate Install: bash install.sh | Update: bash autobuild.sh

THE authoritative reference for ALL ComfyUI operations through our gateway. Multi-modal: audio, images, video (future). Read this before any generation. Updated as we learn.

Workspace Structure

All user-specific workflows, custom instructions, and generated outputs MUST be stored inside a dedicated workspace folder:

text

~/projects/genor-comfyui/
├── workflows/           # Custom/user-specific ComfyUI workflow JSONs
│   ├── lustify-sdxl.json
│   ├── my-custom-workflow.json

Rules:

ALWAYS place new workflows in ~/projects/genor-comfyui/workflows/
ALWAYS save custom prompting instructions in ~/projects/genor-comfyui/custom_instructions/
Generated media goes to ~/media/comfy/ (gateway default), but reference/custom outputs go to ~/projects/genor-comfyui/generations/
Create the folder structure on first use if it doesn't exist
Reference this structure when uploading workflows via genor-comfy-gate__upload_workflow

Modalities

Type	Status	Workflow	Model
🎵 Audio	✅ Active	`acestep-rapcore`	ACE-Step 1.5 SFT merge
🎬 Video	🔜 Planned	—	—

The gateway is modality-agnostic — it submits any workflow JSON to ComfyUI, polls, waits, downloads, and saves. Adding a new modality means adding a workflow file + WORKFLOW_INFO entry. The type field determines output dir (audio/ or images/).

Gateway

Property	Value
Endpoint	`http://127.0.0.1:8188`
Auth	`x-api-key` header (localhost exempt)
Managed by	pm2 (`genor-comfy-gate`)
Location	`./` (installed dir)
Config	`env` / `COMFY_SERVERS` var

Backend Servers

Configure your ComfyUI backends via the COMFY_SERVERS environment variable:

json

[
  {"url": "http://127.0.0.1:8188", "id": "local", "priority": true, "weight": 1}
]

Default: single local server at http://127.0.0.1:8188

ID	URL	Priority
local	`http://127.0.0.1:8188`	★ (default)

Load Balancing Logic (in `pickServer()`)

PRIMARY always preferred when IDLE (0 running tasks)
If PRIMARY has ANY running task → ALL new requests → SECONDARY
If SECONDARY offline → fallback to PRIMARY regardless
Download ALWAYS from the server that generated the file (server.url)

Generation Parameters

json

{
  "workflow": "acestep-rapcore",
  "prompt": "comma-separated tags (under 512 chars)",
  "lyrics": "structured lyrics with [section] tags",
  "duration": 180,
  "bpm": 150,
  "keyscale": "E minor",
  "language": "en",
  "seed": -1
}

All parameters EXCEPT prompt and lyrics are optional. Omitted parameters keep their workflow defaults.

model_sampling (optional, boolean): Enables ModelSamplingAuraFlow (shift=13) for acestep-aio. Bypassed by default — it's 50/50 whether it improves quality, so safer to leave off. Set model_sampling: true if you want to experiment with it on.

The 8 Dimensions

Every caption should cover as many as possible, in 5-8 comma-separated tags:

Style/Genre — metalcore, synthwave, drum and bass, pop, folk
Emotion/Atmosphere — melancholic, euphoric, aggressive, dreamy, dark
Instruments — distorted guitar, 808 bass, strings, piano, synths
Timbre/Texture — warm, crisp, punchy, lush, airy, bright
Vocal — male/female, raspy, clean, powerful, breathy, belting
Production — polished, lo-fi, live, studio, dry, glossy
Era — 80s, 90s, modern, retro, vintage
Speed/Rhythm — driving, groovy, frantic, mid-tempo, laid-back

Rules

5-8 tags max — more degrades quality
BPM/key in parameters, NOT caption — they're separate fields
No conflicting pairs — e.g. "classical strings" + "death metal growls"
Texture words matter heavily — they control mix/production quality
Specific > vague — "melancholic piano ballad, female breathy vocal" > "sad song"
Repeat what you want more of — repetition reinforces

Known Good Captions

text

pop, piano+strings+guitar, female warm vocal, melancholic intimate, bedroom pop

text

rock, metal, heavy distorted guitar, powerful drums, melodic vocals, aggressive, epic, dramatic, guitar solo

text

heavy distorted guitar, fast thrash drums, pounding bass, aggressive, dark

text

rapcore metal fusion, nu-metal, punchy bass, warm distorted guitar, crisp drums, melodic chorus, heavy grooves, atmospheric, polished production, angsty female vocal, emotional

Tags That Cause Problems

raw, gritty, distorted (without balancing warmth) → metallic scraping, flat bass
heavy bass → boomy/muddy; prefer punchy bass, deep sub-bass, defined bass
aggressive on instruments → harsh overtones; use on emotion/vocal instead
Too many instrument tags → cluttered, muddy mix
"classical" + any heavy genre → contradictory, degrades both

Texture Word Guide

Word	Effect
`warm`	Analog-style saturation, smooth high end
`crisp`	Clean transients, defined attacks
`punchy`	Tight, compressed low-mids, good for bass/kick
`bright`	Boosted highs, airy presence
`lush`	Wide stereo, rich harmonics, reverb-heavy
`dry`	Close-mic sound, minimal reverb
`airy`	Spacious high end, breathy
`polished`	Studio-quality, balanced EQ
`raw`	USE WITH CAUTION — unprocessed, potentially harsh
`gritty`	USE WITH CAUTION — distortion artifacts

Lyrics Engineering (ACE-Step)

Required Structure Tags

ACE-Step REQUIRES section markers to align music with lyrics:

text

[Intro], [Verse], [Pre-Chorus], [Chorus], [Bridge], [Build], [Drop],
[Breakdown], [Guitar Solo], [Piano Interlude], [Outro]

Vocal Control Tags (on own line inside sections)

text

[whispered], [raspy vocal], [powerful belting], [spoken word],
[falsetto], [harmonies], [clean vocal]

Energy Tags (on own line inside sections)

text

[high energy], [low energy], [building energy], [euphoric],
[melancholic], [dreamy], [aggressive]

Lyric Writing Rules

6-10 syllables per line — fits the 5Hz LM planner
Natural phrasing — write like human speech, not poetry
Avoid AI clichés: "neon skies", "electric hearts/dreams", "breaking chains", "rising up", "fire inside"
Section description hints on intro/outro lines: (bass rumbles in), (drums fade to silence)
UPPERCASE = shouted/emphasized
(parentheses) = background vocals/harmonies

🔴 OBOWIĄZKOWA CHECKLISTA PRZED WYSŁANIEM TEKSTU DO GENERACJI

Zanim wyślesz jakikolwiek tekst do ACE-Step — musisz odpowiedzieć sobie na każde z tych pytań i nie wysłać dopóki wszystkie nie są "TAK":

„Czy ten tekst ma sens?” — czy opowiada spójną historię? Czy ma flow od intro do outro? Czy sekcje łączą się logicznie?
„Czy jest gramatycznie poprawny?” — bez błędów ortograficznych, interpunkcyjnych, składniowych. Sprawdź szczególnie polskie znaki, odmianę, przecinki.
„Czy pasuje do autora/projektu?” — czy ton, styl, przekleństwa, energia pasują do artysty (KOSTI/Bonnie Bones)? Czy brzmi jak ta postać?
„Czy muzyka i jej kolejność ma sens?” — czy struktura (Intro→Verse→Chorus→Verse→Bridge→Chorus→Outro) jest logiczna? Czy energia rośnie i opada naturalnie? Czy długość ogólnie ma sens (~120-180s)?
„Czy duration jest odpowiednie?” — 120-180 sekund standard. NIGDY nie wysyłaj duration=150 jeśli nie sprawdziłeś że tyle ma być.
„Czy wiek autora brzmi wiarygodnie?” — nie pisz „mam 15 lat”, „young girl”, „teen” w tekstach dorosłych artystów. KOSTI/Bonnie Bones to dorośli wykonawcy.

Dopiero gdy na każde pytanie odpowiedź brzmi TAK — możesz wysłać do generacji.

Energy Flow Pattern

text

Intro       → [low energy]       — sparse, building
Verse 1     → [low energy]       — verse, storytelling, restrained
Pre-Chorus  → [building energy]  — tension rising
Chorus      → [high energy]      — maximum impact, full instrumentation
Verse 2     → [low energy]       — second verse, slightly more energy
Pre-Chorus  → [building energy]
Chorus      → [high energy]      — second chorus often bigger (harmonies)
Bridge      → [low energy]       — stripped back, different perspective
Breakdown   → [high energy]      — instrumental intensity (optional)
Final Chorus→ [high energy]      — biggest version
Outro       → [low energy]       — fade out

Structure Planning (from workflow node 320)

The workflow includes an example of how to structure a caption WITH a song structure plan:

text

metalcore, symphonic elements, theatrical, duet, heavy distorted guitar,
bright piano, studio-polished, dramatic, melodic, epic, intense.

Structure:
- Intro: brief intro dramatically builds to first verse
- Verse 1: atmospheric piano, sets scene, raspy male vocal only
- Verse 2: guitar power chords, groovy, young female vocal only
- Chorus: anthemic, layered, male+female duet harmonies
- Bridge: atmospheric, dreamy, calm, female vocal only
- Build-up: builds to epic instrumental solo
- Instrumental: fast guitar solo, lead licks, virtuoso shred
- End: powerful ending

This can go in the caption to give the model a temporal roadmap.

Scene-by-Scene Prompting (from workflow node 321)

For maximum control, describe each section's instrumentation and mood in prose:

text

Intro: A metalcore-tinged, symphonic swell opens the track, with bright piano glimmering
over theatrical strings. Tension rises—studio-polished, dramatic—until it snaps into verse.

Verse 1: Drops to atmospheric piano, soft but charged. Raspy male vocal, intimate, whispered.
No guitars—just piano, subtle pads, suspended breath.

Verse 2: Guitar power chords crash in, groovy pulse. Young female vocal, bright and soaring.
Symphonic elements widen the space, cinematic lift.

Chorus: Erupts into anthemic, epic chorus. Male+female duet harmonies. Distorted guitars,
sweeping strings, pounding drums—polished, intense.

Bridge: Everything falls away. Dreamy, atmospheric, weightless. Soft pads, distant piano,
female vocal airy and ethereal. Suspended.

Build-up: Rhythmic pulses return. Low strings, tom rolls, rising synths. Guitars re-enter
in bursts. Energy coils toward instrumental break.

Instrumental: Fast guitar solo, virtuoso shred, rapid licks, melodic flourishes.
Symphonic backing, metalcore precision drums. Flashy, intense, climactic.

Image Prompt Engineering Reference

Baseline reference for ALL image generation models. Use this when constructing prompts for any image workflow. Each model has its own syntax — using the wrong format produces garbage.

Quick Model ID

Model	Prompt Style	Quality Tags (end)	Negatives?	Notes
Illustrious XL	Booru tags, underscores, commas	`masterpiece, best quality, absurdres`	Yes	Most important tags FIRST. CFG 3-6. ~248 token limit.
Animagine XL 4.0	Tags + score tags	`masterpiece, high score, great score, absurdres`	Yes	Score tags have stronger impact. CFG 4-7. Euler a, 28 steps.
SDXL Base	Natural language + photography terms	N/A (built into description)	Yes	Camera/lens specs, DOF, lighting. CFG 7. DPM++ 2M Karras.
Z-Image Turbo	Full English sentences ONLY	N/A	NO (CFG=0)	No tag soup. Photography vocab required. ~512 token cap.
Base SD / 1.5	Hybrid: NL description + quality tags	`masterpiece, best quality, highres`	Yes	Most flexible. CFG 7-9. 75 token chunks.

Illustrious XL (LUSTIFY, WAI, Hyphoria, NoobAI)

Format: Booru-style tags, comma-separated, underscores for multi-word.

Structure (order matters — first = most influence):

text

subject, physical attributes, clothing, pose, environment, lighting, camera angle, quality tags

Quality tags (ALWAYS at end): masterpiece, best quality, absurdres

Negative prompt:

text

worst quality, low quality, bad anatomy, bad hands, extra fingers, blurry, lowres, signature, watermark, username

For mature content add: loli, shota, child, aged_down

Weighting: (tag:1.2) = 20% stronger, (tag:0.8) = 20% weaker

Settings: CFG 3-6, Steps 25-32, Sampler Euler a

Rules:

No score tags (Pony-style scores don't work)
~248 token limit before dilution
Artist tags work if artist has enough Danbooru presence
For mature: add mature, mature_female to positive to counter loli bias

Example:

text

1girl, teenage, slavic, high cheekbones, fair skin, light blue eyes, long blonde hair, ponytail, school uniform, white button-up shirt, red ribbon, pleated miniskirt, cheerleader, pom-poms, thighhigh_socks, loafers, standing, leaning against locker, looking at viewer, confident smile, school hallway, afternoon sunlight, soft shadows, masterpiece, best quality, absurdres

Animagine XL 4.0

Format: Tags with specific ordering. Score tags work here (unlike Illustrious).

Structure:

text

1girl/1boy/1other, character name, series, rating, everything else, quality tags

Quality tags (ALWAYS at end): masterpiece, high score, great score, absurdres

Score tags (stronger impact than quality tags): high score, great score, good score, average score, bad score, low score

Rating tags: rating:safe, rating:questionable, rating:explicit

Negative prompt:

text

lowres, bad anatomy, bad hands, text, error, missing finger, extra digits, fewer digits, cropped, worst quality, low quality, low score, bad score, average score, signature, watermark, username, blurry

Settings: CFG 5, Steps 28, Sampler Euler a

Rules:

Score tags have STRONGER impact than quality tags — always include both
Rating tags are recognized and work well
Tags preferred over natural language

Example:

text

1girl, teenage, slavic, high cheekbones, fair skin, light blue eyes, long blonde hair, ponytail, school uniform, white shirt, red ribbon, pleated skirt, cheerleader, pom-poms, thighhighs, loafers, standing, leaning against locker, looking at viewer, smile, school hallway, afternoon, masterpiece, high score, great score, absurdres

SDXL Base (Realistic / Photorealistic)

Format: Natural language with photography terminology. Full descriptive sentences.

Structure:

text

[Persona]: Age, Gender, Facial Features, Hair & Eyes, Expression, Pose
[Clothing]: Type, Material, Fit, Color, Accessories, Footwear
[Scene & Mood]: Environment, Lighting, Photography Style, Camera Settings

Key vocabulary:

Camera: "Shot on Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, 85mm lens", "Sony A7 III, 50mm f/1.8"
DOF: "Shallow depth of field (f/1.4), creamy bokeh"
Lighting: "Golden hour", "studio softbox", "overcast diffused", "low-key dramatic"
Composition: "Close-up portrait", "medium shot", "full body", "dutch angle"

Negative prompt:

text

cartoon, illustration, anime, painting, CGI, 3D render, unrealistic proportions, extra fingers, low quality, blurry, bad anatomy, bad hands, deformed, plastic skin, airbrushed

Settings: CFG 7, Steps 30, Sampler DPM++ 2M Karras

Rules:

Photography vocabulary is #1 factor for realism
Describe skin texture (pores, freckles, imperfections) to avoid plastic look
Camera model + lens + aperture = instant realism boost

Example:

text

A 17-year-old Slavic teenage girl with high cheekbones, fair skin, light blue eyes, and long blonde hair tied in a high ponytail, wearing a crisp white button-up shirt with a red ribbon tie, a short pleated navy blue miniskirt, white thigh-high socks, and polished leather loafers, holding cheerleading pom-poms and leaning casually against metal lockers in a bright school hallway, looking at the camera with a confident playful smile, warm afternoon sunlight streaming through windows, shot on Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, 85mm lens at f/1.8, shallow depth of field with creamy bokeh background

Z-Image Turbo

Format: Full natural English sentences ONLY. NO tag soup. NO comma-separated lists.

Critical rules:

Write in complete natural English sentences
Subject goes FIRST in the prompt
NO negative prompts (CFG=0, negatives ignored entirely)
Include specific photography equipment vocabulary for realism
Describe facial asymmetries and skin texture to avoid plastic look
~512 token effective attention cap

Photography vocabulary:

Candid: "Shot on a point-and-shoot film camera", "Handheld iPhone snapshot with slight motion blur", "Disposable camera aesthetic, slight overexposure"
Cinematic: "Shot on Fujifilm GFX100 II medium format camera, 110mm f/2 lens, shallow depth of field", "Medium-format Hasselblad"
Studio: "Studio lighting with softbox key light, fill light, rim light"

Settings: CFG 0, Steps 8, Sampler Default (distilled)

Rules:

Model defaults to "beauty stock photography" — actively counteract with specific vocab
"Realistic", "average", "normal" do almost nothing alone — pair with equipment references
Text rendering is a strength — put text at VERY START

Example:

text

A teenage Slavic cheerleader with high cheekbones, fair skin dotted with light freckles, pale blue eyes, and long blonde hair tied in a slightly messy high ponytail stands in a bright school hallway, wearing a crisp white button-up shirt with a red ribbon loosely tied at the collar, a short pleated navy blue miniskirt, white thigh-high socks with a subtle cable-knit texture, and polished brown leather loafers, holding bright cheerleading pom-poms in her right hand and leaning casually against a row of blue metal lockers with a confident playful smile, warm afternoon sunlight streaming through tall windows casting long diagonal shadows across the linoleum floor, shot on a point-and-shoot film camera with slight overexposure giving a candid yearbook-photo aesthetic

Base SD / SD 1.5

Format: Hybrid — natural language description with quality tags appended at the end.

Structure:

text

[Natural language description of subject, clothing, pose, environment, lighting], masterpiece, best quality, highres

Quality tags (always at end): masterpiece, best quality, highres

Negative prompt:

text

lowres, bad anatomy, bad hands, text, error, missing fingers, extra digits, cropped, worst quality, low quality, blurry, ugly, deformed

Add for realistic: cartoon, illustration, anime, painting, CGI, 3D render, plastic, airbrushed Add for anime: realistic, photograph, photorealistic, live action

Settings: CFG 7-9, Steps 25-30, Sampler Euler a or DPM++ 2M Karras

Rules:

75 token limit per CLIP chunk — use weighting/splitting for long prompts
Hands are the weakest point — avoid complex hand positions
Different fine-tunes expect different styles — adapt based on model name

Example:

text

A teenage Slavic girl with high cheekbones, fair skin, blue eyes, and long blonde hair in a ponytail, wearing a white button-up shirt with a red ribbon, a short pleated miniskirt, thigh-high socks, and loafers, holding cheerleading pom-poms, standing in a school hallway leaning against lockers, looking at camera with a confident smile, afternoon sunlight, masterpiece, best quality, highres

Automated Prompt Generation (Workflow Integration)

For fully automated workflows where user input → prompt → image:

Take raw user input (vague description)
Apply the appropriate model's prompt structure above
Expand vague terms with specific details (hair, eyes, clothing, pose, lighting)
Append correct quality tags for the model
Output ONLY the raw prompt text — no markdown, no labels, no settings
Feed directly into the generation pipeline

Key principle: The system prompt for the LLM handling this should output ONLY the finalized prompt. No greetings, no explanations, no code fences, no model name, no settings, no negative prompt. Just the raw prompt text.

FaceDetailer Pipeline

Sequential detailers with YOLO detectors:

NIP (nipples_yolov8s-seg.pt) — nipple detection, 1024px, denoise 0.4
V (nsfw-seg-vagina-x.pt) — vagina detection, 1024px, denoise 0.4
P (nsfw-seg-penis-x.pt) — penis detection, 1024px, denoise 0.4
Face (Anzhc Face seg 768MS v2 y8n.pt) — face detection, 1024px, 6 steps, denoise 0.4
Hands (PitHandDetailer-v2-Test-v9c.pt) — hand detection, 2048px, 6 steps, denoise 0.5

SeedVR2 Upscaler (node 114)

Model: seedvr2_ema_7b_sharp-Q4_K_M.gguf (quantized 7B)
VAE: ema_vae_fp16.safetensors
Final resolution: 2048
Color correction: lab

CRT Post-Process (node 115)

Vibrance: +0.015 (subtle saturation boost)
Vignette: 0.5 strength, 0.7 radius, 2.0 softness

Danbooru Tag Prompting (LUSTIFY)

CRITICAL: LUSTIFY is Illustrious-based — use Danbooru-format tags, NOT natural language descriptions.

Quality/Priority Tags (always include)

text

masterpiece, best quality, amazing quality, very aesthetic, absurdres

Subject Tags

text

1girl, solo, cute, petite, pale skin, medium breasts

Clothing/Accessories

text

gym uniform, white shirt, sports shorts, sneakers, ponytail

Action/Pose (keep it SIMPLE — complex actions confuse the model)

text

jumping, dynamic pose, looking at viewer

Setting/Light

text

gym background, afternoon light, dutch angle, from below

Negative Prompt (always)

text

blurry, worst quality, bad quality, error, melted body, bad anatomy, bad hands, disfigured

What Works

Character portraits work best — this is a hentai/character model
Simple dynamic poses (jumping, running, leaning) — YES
Quality tags first — masterpiece, best quality are weighted
POV/camera tags — dutch angle, from below, from above, close-up
Lighting tags — sunlight, god rays, afternoon light, backlight
Keep tags under ~25 — more dilutes quality

What Fails

Natural language descriptions — "mid-jump over a vaulting horse" → model doesn't understand
Complex multi-object composition — "vaulting horse + girl midair" = garbled anatomy
"photorealistic" tag — fights the anime/illustrious base, produces uncanny results
Overloaded action tags — "jumping + spread legs + leaning forward + vaulting horse" = nightmare
Multiple characters — this workflow is tuned for 1girl, solo

Image Generation Parameters

json

{
  "workflow": "acestep-aio",
  "prompt": "masterpiece, best quality, 1girl, cute, ...",
  "aspect_ratio": "7:9 (Portrait)",
  "seed": -1
}

Valid aspect ratios:

1:1 (Square)
4:5 (Portrait)
7:9 (Portrait) ← default, best for single character
3:2 (Landscape)
16:9 (Landscape)
9:16 (Portrait)

Additional optional params: megapixels (default 1.5), steps, cfg, denoise, sampler_name, scheduler

Adding a New Workflow (any modality)

Export workflow JSON from ComfyUI → save to workflows/<name>.json

Add entry to WORKFLOW_INFO in server.js:

'<name>': { file: '<name>.json', type: 'audio'|'image'|'video', ext: 'mp3'|'png'|'mp4',
            promptNode: '94', promptField: 'tags', lyricsNode: '252', lyricsField: 'String',
            outputNode: '104' }

Restart: pm2 restart genor-comfy-gate
Test, then document in this SKILL.md

The gateway auto-handles: prompt injection, duration, BPM/keyscale (audio), aspect_ratio (image), seed, polling, download from correct server, save to media dir, metadata sidecar.

Auto-build & Run Scripts

MUST USE — these scripts handle the full lifecycle: install, build, run, update, restart.

One-Command Install

bash

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/projects/Genor-Comfy-Gate
bash install.sh

Does everything: npm install → create media dirs → create workspace → PM2 start/save.

One-Command Auto-build & Restart

bash

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/projects/Genor-Comfy-Gate
bash autobuild.sh

Full update cycle: git pull → npm install → pm2 restart genor-comfy-gate. Use this after pulling changes, updating workflows, or modifying server code.

Manual Commands

Action	Command
Install deps	`npm install`
Create dirs	`mkdir -p ~/media/comfy/audio ~/media/comfy/images`
Create workspace	`mkdir -p ~/projects/genor-comfyui/{workflows,custom_instructions/prompt_templates,generations/{images,audio},exports}`
Start (PM2)	`pm2 start server.js --name genor-comfy-gate -- --port 8188`
Start (PM2 ecosystem)	`pm2 start pm2-ecosystem.config.cjs`
Dev mode (hot-reload)	`npm run dev`
Direct run	`node server.js --port 8188`
Restart	`pm2 restart genor-comfy-gate`
Stop	`pm2 stop genor-comfy-gate`
Logs	`pm2 logs genor-comfy-gate`
Status	`pm2 list \| grep genor-comfy-gate`
Health check	`curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8188/ \| python3 -m json.tool`

First-Time Setup Flow

bash

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/projects/Genor-Comfy-Gate

# 1. Install everything
bash install.sh

# 2. Verify it's running
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8188/ | python3 -m json.tool

Lessons Learned

2026-05-19 — Image Generation

LUSTIFY is Illustrious-based, uses Danbooru tags — natural language prompts produce garbled results
Quality tags (masterpiece, best quality) must come FIRST — they're weighted
Complex action scenes fail — model is trained for character portraits, keep poses simple
"photorealistic" tag on anime model = uncanny valley, avoid
Keep prompts under 25 tags — overloading dilutes quality
Pipeline has SeedVR2 upscaler (7B GGUF) + 5-stage FaceDetailer → 2048px final output
Face/hand detailers produce excellent close-up quality

2026-05-19 — Audio Generation

Download 400 bug: getOutputInfo() function returned undefined filenames despite reading them from history correctly. Fixed by inlining output scanning in the handler.
Load balancer: PRIMARY-first when idle, ALL→SECONDARY when PRIMARY busy (not round-robin).
Workflow cleanup: Removed duplicate nodes 401, 402. Lyrics now go through node 252 (String) → node 94.
Caption quality: raw, gritty, heavy drops cause metallic scraping and flat bass. Use warm, crisp, punchy, polished for clean instruments.
5-8 tags sweet spot for SFT merge model. More degrades quality.
8 dimensions matter: Missing emotion/timbre = flat results. Cover: genre, emotion, instruments, timbre, vocal, production, era, rhythm.
