Prompt Builder

Prompt Builder is the manual sibling of the pack's flagship Prompt Generator. Same world-JSON engine, same enhancer stack, same logging - but instead of one button that samples a random value per category, you get a dropdown per category and you decide what goes in each slot. If Prompt Generator is a slot machine, this is the build-a-prompt workshop next door.

Why reach for it? Because the flagship's randomness is great until it isn't - you finally get an outfit you love and it keeps drawing you a different one. Prompt Builder lets you lock the categories that matter (outfits, lighting, background) to specific values and leave the rest on random, or take manual control of every single one. It's also where the pack's "reload JSON worlds without restarting" trick actually lives: a bundled web extension refreshes the dropdown options from a generated world_options.json, so newly added worlds show up without a ComfyUI restart.

How it works

At load time it scans every world in JSON_DATA/, unions all values across them per category, and builds those dropdowns. That's why the enums are enormous - 837 outfits, 675 backgrounds, 1,330 objects/accessories. Each category dropdown gives you none (skip it), random (let the sampler pick), or a specific value. The COLOR_REALM selector picks the palette within a world that defines realms. Then it runs the exact same assembly logic as the generator - gender, identity_profile, horror/sensuality levels, subject_count, multi_object_count - and optionally the same LLM enhancer (use_enhancer: none/ollama/llamacpp/openai/cohere/gemini) with an enhancer_mode system prompt.

The inputs that matter

Honestly, only a few. json_name selects the world, and per-category picks (epochs_pick, outfits_pick, lighting_pick, backgrounds_pick, poses_pick, expressions_pick, camera_angles_pick, atmospheres_pick) plus objects_mode/objects_pick and accessories_mode/accessories_pick are the whole point. Everything else mirrors the generator: color_realm, gender, identity_profile, lock_identity, horror_intensity, sensuality_level, lora_triggers, seed, lock_last_prompt, and the Ollama knobs.

The same default landmine applies here: ollama_host defaults to http://192.168.1.1:11434 - the author's network, not yours. Point it at your local Ollama (http://127.0.0.1:11434) before you blame the node.

Output

A single prompt STRING. Same wiring story as the generator: feed it into a CLIPTextEncode (or CLIPTextEncodeSDXL) node - the builder doesn't encode for you. And because it shares the generator's logger, whatever it produces lands in logs/prompt_history.jsonl and shows up in the pack's Prompt Replay node.

Install

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/zeeoale/PromptCreatorNode

restart, and you'll find "Prompt Builder" alongside the rest of the pack. No model downloads; the only pip deps are openai, google-generativeai, cohere (requirements.txt), plus requests that ComfyUI already bundles. Cloud enhancers need keys in api_keys.txt inside the pack folder; the node works fully with none.

The honest take

If the generator's whole-prompt random roll feels like fighting the pack, this is the antidote. It's still the same niche, personal-codebase experience - no community to speak of, author's own conventions baked into the worlds - but for "curate a look, randomize the rest" it's the one I'd reach for over the flagship. One catch: those massive dropdowns mean a lot of scrolling, and the specific values you see are pulled at load time, so world edits want that web-extension refresh (or a restart) to show up.
