What it is¶

ComfyUI_StarNodes is an MIT-licensed custom node suite for ComfyUI practitioners who need starter workflows, sampling, image processing, and video in one extension.

• Starter settings for Flux, SDXL, and Qwen
• Samplers, LoRAs, inpainting, upscaling, PSD saving, wildcards, and debugging tools
• Video tools, including LTX workflows

The README claims 100 nodes, pyproject.toml lists version 2.7.1, and GitHub Releases has no releases. The package covers broad ground, but reproducible workflows require pinning a revision and testing individual nodes separately.

Development line¶

• 2026-07-18 — ComfyUI_StarNodes GitHub repository was referenced. On 2026-07-18, we referenced the link to the ComfyUI_StarNodes GitHub repository. The available evidence identifies the project repository, but does not establish a release, feature change, version, or installation status. This history entry notes the dated repository reference only.

What changed¶

• 2024-11-20 — v1.7.0 moved verified StarBetaNodes into the main package, including Qwen/WAN editing and utilities.
• 2026-04-10 — v2.0.0 added nine integrated nodes for LTX video and ACE Step, removed eight legacy nodes, and trimmed dependencies.
• 2026-07-10 — A public post claimed v2.1.1 with a 360-degree panorama viewer and an updated workflow; commit or registry artifacts are missing.
• 2026-07-18 — Only the repository link is documented for this date, with no confirmed change, version, or SHA.
• 2026-07-19 — A public post claimed updates v2.3.6 and v2.3.7 with performance improvements, new nodes, UI updates, and compatibility fixes; primary release artifacts are missing.

How to use this¶

Treat the linked ComfyUI_StarNodes repository as a project source to inspect as of 2026-07-18, not as proof of a verified release or installation procedure.

1. Search for Starnodes in ComfyUI Manager, install the package, and restart ComfyUI. If the package is not listed, proceed to manual installation. — https://github.com/Starnodes2024/ComfyUI_StarNodes/blob/main/README.md
2. For manual installation, clone the repository into ComfyUI/custom_nodes, install requirements.txt, and restart ComfyUI. — https://github.com/Starnodes2024/ComfyUI_StarNodes/blob/main/README.md
3. Install dependencies directly into the Python environment of the active ComfyUI setup, then check the startup log for import errors after restart. — https://docs.comfy.org/installation/install_custom_node
4. Search nodes by star and begin with a relevant example: Start(t) Settings to start a graph, Save Image+ or PSD Saver for output, and Star Wildcards Advanced for prompt data. — https://github.com/Starnodes2024/ComfyUI_StarNodes/blob/main/README.md

Best practices¶

• Review the repository and its requirements before installation. ComfyUI recommends installing custom nodes only from trusted sources and understanding what they do. — https://docs.comfy.org/installation/install_custom_node
• Save a snapshot before updating, so Manager can restore the node setup after the next launch. — https://docs.comfy.org/manager/legacy-ui
• Choose a packaged version over nightly for production graphs, because Manager documentation marks nightly as less stable. — https://docs.comfy.org/manager/legacy-ui
• Start with the bundled JSON example for the target task instead of moving the entire production graph at once. — https://github.com/Starnodes2024/ComfyUI_StarNodes/blob/main/README.md

Still unknown¶

• No second dated primary source links 2026-07-18 to a specific change, commit, tag, or version.
• The 2.7.1 value in pyproject.toml is a manifest version, not a confirmed GitHub Release or verified registry publication.
• Accessible GitHub history ends with an April 2026 snapshot while current repository files carry later metadata; exact commit chronology after April is not confirmed.
• Posts from July 10 and 19 point to the same repository, but independent primary artifacts do not confirm their authorship or claimed versions.
