Anima Prompt Studio

Every Anima user eventually realizes the same thing: the model understands real Danbooru tags so much better than paraphrases, but remembering whether it's aqua_eyes or aqua eyes or (aqua eyes) is a tax you pay constantly. Anima Prompt Studio is the pack's answer - a prompt field that autocompletes booru tags, expands wildcards, and color-codes your prompt by tag category while you type. It's Prompt Builder with a front-end, and the front-end is the whole point.

What it is

Under the hood it's the same prompt-assembly logic as Anima Prompt Builder - quality tags up front, trigger/artist tags, a main prompt body, trailing style tags, with Mod Guidance routing - but the input widgets are where the value lives. Type __ and a wildcard autocomplete opens. Type a tag and suggestions appear from the bundled autocomplete CSV, with a ghost-text preview of what the selected suggestion would insert. Open ( or [ and the matching close bracket inserts at the caret, code-editor style. Syntax errors, unknown tags, quality tags, artists, and wildcards each get their own highlight color.

The fields

Same shape as Prompt Builder:

• quality_tags - leading quality tags (defaults to the Anima-standard newest, masterpiece, best quality, score_8, score_7:, highres, absurdres, very aesthetic).
• trigger_and_artist_tags - model triggers and @artist tags.
• lora_trigger_tags - one-line trigger tags from a LoRA manager or pasted manually.
• prompt - the main body, where NAIA output lands.
• trailing_quality_tags - trailing style/location tags.

Two booleans control routing: use_anima_mod_guidance (true pulls quality fields out of the prompt and into the Mod Guidance output) and pin_trigger_tags_to_front (true keeps triggers/artists at the very front instead of behind the quality tags).

Outputs: prompt (the final positive), anima_mod_guidance_quality_tags, use_anima_mod_guidance (passed through for workflow control), and metadata_prompt (prompt text for metadata, independent of Mod Guidance routing and metadata filters).

Configuring autocomplete

The autocomplete scope and source CSV are ComfyUI settings, not per-node. Under Settings → EasyUse Anima you pick the autocomplete CSV - Danbooru, e621, merged Danbooru+e621, or Korean Danbooru - and the scope: off, easyuse_nodes, or compatible_global. The Korean Danbooru CSV exists because the pack's author is Korean, and Korean tag autocomplete is genuinely useful if you prompt in Korean. Toggles for inline autocomplete preview, closing-bracket preview, and weighted-syntax underlining live in the same settings panel.

Install and gotchas

Pack install:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/n0va39/ComfyUI-EasyUseAnima
cd ComfyUI-EasyUseAnima && pip install -r requirements.txt

Restart ComfyUI; Manager: "ComfyUI EasyUse Anima". Settings, wildcard folders, and profiles live in ComfyUI user data, not the node folder, so they survive Manager updates.

If autocomplete isn't firing, check the settings scope - the default is easyuse_nodes, which only enables it on this pack's own nodes; compatible_global extends it to generic multiline STRING widgets. And if you're choosing between this and Prompt Studio Advanced: this is the lightweight option for a single, well-structured prompt; go Advanced (or Advanced v2) when you need separate negative fields, NAIA fill, resolution buckets, or per-field reordering.
