T8 Show Text

A STRING in ComfyUI is a black box. Somewhere between your text node and the sampler a prompt enhancer or a template can rearrange, mangle or silently empty it, and nothing on the canvas tells you. T8 Show Text is the inspection window: it displays whatever STRING you feed it right inside the node, and passes that string through unchanged. You get to see the value at that exact point in the graph, without breaking the chain.

It's an output node (is_output_node: true), which means ComfyUI treats it as a terminal - you can hang it off a wire just to observe, and it won't interfere with whatever the string feeds downstream. That makes it the natural companion to this pack's three enhancers and the Prompt Inspector: drop one after the H3 or Seedance node to eyeball the enhanced_prompt before you spend credits, or after the inspector to read its summary.

What it does, mechanically

One input, one output, both text STRING:

• text (input) - the string you want to see. Marked force_input, so ComfyUI will want it wired from somewhere rather than hand-typed.
• text (output) - the exact same value, passed through byte-for-byte.

The node returns the input straight back and ships the value to the UI for display. No processing, no truncation, no API call. If you're debugging why a prompt "looks different downstream," this is the tool that answers it in one run.

Install

Same pack as everything else here - T8mars' enhancer pack:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/T8mars/comfyui-minimax-h3-prompt-enhancer-T8.git

or search "MiniMax H3 / Seedance 2.0 / Music 3 Prompt Enhancer (T8)" in ComfyUI Manager. Restart and hard-refresh with Ctrl+F5.

Where people get burned

The one thing to remember is that it's pass-through, not a viewer sink. Because it's an output node you might expect it to end the line - it does, for execution purposes - but the text output still carries the value onward, so you can preview and continue the chain at the same time. The other classic mistake is using it as an editor: there's no way to edit the string here. For that, T8 Prompt Text is the editable source. These two nodes are a pair, and together they cover the whole "type it, see it, pass it" loop the pack's example workflows lean on.
