Tag Category Strength (Raffle)

Editing prompt weights one tag at a time is fine when it's one tag. It's a drag when you realize all your artist tags are getting lost in the noise, or the meta tags are eating tokens a description could use. TagCategoryStrength lets you adjust whole families at once: give it (artist:1.4) and every artist tag in your prompt gets boosted; (meta:0.5) and the meta tags get halved. Batch weight-editing, in the format the pack already speaks.

How it works: it splits your input into individual tags, looks each one up in the pack's bundled categorized_tags.txt (tens of thousands of tags mapped into categories like poses, clothes_and_accessories, artist, meta, and the rest), and whenever a tag's category matches one of your adjustments, it rewrites the tag with standard ComfyUI weighted syntax - (poses:1.2), (artist:1.4), and so on.

The inputs:

• input_tags - comma-separated tags. It's force-input, so you can wire it straight from another node - in practice, the Raffled output from this same pack.
• category_adjustments - (category:strength) pairs, comma-separated, e.g. (artist:1.4), (meta:0.5), (poses:1.2).
• preserve_existing_weights (default true) - if a tag already carries a weight like (tag:1.2), keep it instead of re-weighting. Turn it off if you want the category strength to multiply over existing weights.

Outputs: Adjusted tags, which wires into a CLIP Text Encode, and Debug info, which tells you what category each tag landed in. That second output is more useful than it looks - it's how you'll discover a tag you thought was a pose is actually filed under clothes_and_accessories.

Two gotchas:

• Category names are validated hard. Mistype one in category_adjustments and the node raises an error listing every valid category. The Raffle node's Debug output shows the full list if you need it.
• Weighted syntax is a CLIP-encoder thing. (tag:1.4) means something on Illustrious, NoobAI and Pony, and nothing on an LLM-encoded model, where weights are just literal punctuation passed through to the encoder. This node is for the SDXL anime family - which is, to be fair, exactly the family the whole pack targets.

It's a small node with a small job, and it's the natural finishing move after a Raffle pick: roll a taglist, then push the parts you actually care about without hand-editing forty tags. Install is the pack, same as the others:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/rainlizard/ComfyUI-Raffle

...or "Raffle" in ComfyUI Manager. No extra dependencies.
