Optimized Workflows

This section is the maintained layer for "best current" master workflows.

The models/ tree stores collected originals and community finds.

The optimized/ tree stores the cleaned-up workflows built from analyzing what we have collected.

The optimized/notes/ tree stores accumulated optimization notes so future review passes can reuse prior judgments instead of re-reading every collected workflow from scratch.

Purpose

These workflows are intended to become the practical default choices for each category after comparing:

• official workflows
• community workflows
• custom-node variants
• model-specific optimizations
• quality vs speed tradeoffs

Categories

• text-to-image/
• image-edit/
• image-to-video/
• text-to-video/
• upscale-restoration/

Workflow format

Each optimized workflow should have its own folder and usually include:

• workflow.json or another portable Comfy workflow asset
• README.md
• optional notes, screenshots, or benchmark artifacts

Notes layer

Use optimized/notes/ for durable working notes such as:

• category heuristics
• strong and weak source workflows
• recurring node/version pitfalls
• preferred model paths
• unresolved test questions
• "best current" assumptions waiting for proof

Update policy

This section is reviewed on a Sunday-evening cadence.

The weekly review should:

• inspect newly collected workflows
• decide whether a category master should be created or updated
• document what changed and why
• commit and push changes before reporting back
