Generate image with Hermes Agent and ComfyUI

Step-by-step

1. Verify ComfyUI is running locally on port 8188
2. Enter a natural language prompt into the Hermes Agent TUI specifying the model and dimensions
3. Wait for the agent to load the creative comfy skill and generate the workflow
4. Open the Windows 'Run' dialog (Start + R)
5. Type '\\wsl$' to access the WSL network file system
6. Navigate to the home folder, then to the ComfyUI output directory to view the generated image

Options

• Use the 'template integrity skill' to prevent the agent from simplifying complex workflows
• Request access to the Comfy MCP alpha by leaving a message on X or YouTube

Watch out for

• The agent cannot reliably build workflows from scratch and often creates non-functional solutions
• The agent tends to over-simplify complex workflows (e.g., reducing 48 nodes to 12), resulting in poor quality output
• WSL file systems are encrypted and must be accessed as a network device rather than a standard local drive on Windows

Tips

• Don't let the agent rebuild workflows if it detects specific text encoders like Quen, as it may break the process
• Ensure the agent references a templates repo for the 'source of truth' rather than letting it hallucinate workflow structures
• Sort the output folder by date to quickly find the most recently generated image

“having it just work right off the straight up skill, you will be a sad sad person.”
