+# Copilot Instructions for efficiency-nodes-comfyui
+
+## Project Overview
+
+This repository contains **Efficiency Nodes for ComfyUI** — a collection of custom nodes for [ComfyUI](https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI) that streamline AI image generation workflows and reduce total node count. The project is maintained by jags111 and is a fork/continuation of the original work by Luciano Cirino.

+
+## Architecture & Key Conventions
+
+### Node Class Pattern
+
+All nodes follow the ComfyUI node pattern:
+
+```python
+class TSC_MyNode:
+    @classmethod
+    def INPUT_TYPES(cls):
+        return {
+            "required": { "param": ("TYPE", {"default": value}) },
+            "optional": { "opt_param": ("TYPE",) },
+            "hidden":   { "my_unique_id": "UNIQUE_ID" }
+        }
+
+    RETURN_TYPES = ("TYPE1", "TYPE2",)
+    RETURN_NAMES = ("name1", "name2",)
+    FUNCTION = "execute_method"
+    CATEGORY = "Efficiency Nodes/Category"
+
+    def execute_method(self, param, opt_param=None, my_unique_id=None):
+        # implementation
+        return (result1, result2,)
+```
+
+- All node classes are prefixed with `TSC_`
+- `FUNCTION` must match the name of the method that executes the node
+- `CATEGORY` uses the `"Efficiency Nodes/..."` namespace for grouping in the ComfyUI UI
+- Nodes with side effects (saving images, printing) should set `OUTPUT_NODE = True`
+
+### Node Registration
+
+Nodes are registered at the bottom of `efficiency_nodes.py` by updating `NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS`:
+
+```python
+NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS = {
+    "KSampler (Efficient)": TSC_KSampler,
+    "Efficient Loader": TSC_EfficientLoader,
+    # ...
+}
+```
+
+Optional features (requiring extra packages like `simpleeval` or `animatediff`) are wrapped in `try/except ImportError` blocks and registered conditionally.
+
+### Model Caching (tsc_utils.py)
+
+The `loaded_objects` and `last_helds` globals in `tsc_utils.py` implement a caching layer to avoid reloading models between node executions:
+
+- `loaded_objects["ckpt"]` — checkpoints
+- `loaded_objects["lora"]` — LoRA weights
+- `loaded_objects["vae"]`  — VAE models
+- `last_helds["latent"]` / `last_helds["image"]` — KSampler output caches
+
+Always call `globals_cleanup(prompt)` at the start of loader nodes to evict stale cache entries.
+
+### Frontend JavaScript
+
+- JS files in `js/` are served by ComfyUI via `WEB_DIRECTORY = "js"` in `__init__.py`
+- Extensions are registered with `app.registerExtension({ name: "efficiency.<name>", ... })`
+- Use `import { app } from "../../scripts/app.js"` for ComfyUI's app object
+- Widget helpers (`findWidgetByName`, `addMenuHandler`) are in `js/node_options/common/utils.js`
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- **Python**: `torch`, `PIL` (Pillow), `numpy`, `comfy` (ComfyUI), `folder_paths`
+- **Optional Python**: `simpleeval` (Evaluate nodes), `clip_interrogator` (CLIP Interrogator node)
+- **ComfyUI extras**: `comfy_extras.nodes_align_your_steps`, `comfy_extras.nodes_gits`, `comfy_extras.nodes_upscale_model`
+
+## Development Guidelines
+
+- **Do not break the node contract**: Changing `RETURN_TYPES`, `RETURN_NAMES`, or `INPUT_TYPES` on existing nodes is a breaking change for saved workflows.
+- **Cache awareness**: When modifying loader nodes, preserve calls to `globals_cleanup()` and the caching functions (`load_checkpoint`, `load_lora`, `load_vae`).
+- **Error messages**: Use the `warning()` and `error()` helpers from `tsc_utils.py` for consistent console output formatting.
+- **Optional imports**: Wrap any new optional feature dependencies in `try/except ImportError` and print a warning when the package is missing.
+- **Node naming**: Use the `TSC_` prefix for new node classes. Register them in `NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS` with a human-readable display name (e.g., `"My New Node": TSC_MyNewNode`).
+- **JS extensions**: Follow the existing pattern of using `app.registerExtension` with the `"efficiency.<extensionName>"` naming convention.
+
+## Testing & Validation
+
+There is no automated test suite. Validation is done by loading the nodes in a running ComfyUI instance:
+
+1. Install ComfyUI and place this package in `ComfyUI/custom_nodes/efficiency-nodes-comfyui/`
+2. Start ComfyUI and check the console for import errors
+3. Open the ComfyUI web interface and verify nodes appear under the `Efficiency Nodes` menu category
+4. Load example workflows from the `workflows/` directory to test node behavior
+
+## Publishing
+
+The package is published to the [ComfyUI Registry](https://registry.comfy.org/) via the GitHub Actions workflow `.github/workflows/publish.yml`, triggered when `pyproject.toml` is updated on `main`. Update the `version` field in `pyproject.toml` for each release.

+### Dependencies
+The python library <i><a href="https://github.com/danthedeckie/simpleeval" >simpleeval</a></i> is required to be installed if you wish to use the **Simpleeval Nodes**.
+<pre>pip install simpleeval</pre>
+Also can be installed with a simple pip command <br>
+'pip install simpleeval'
+
+A single file library for easily adding evaluatable expressions into python projects. Say you want to allow a user to set an alarm volume, which could depend on the time of day, alarm level, how many previous alarms had gone off, and if there is music playing at the time.
+
+check Notes for more information.
+
+## **Install:**
+To install, drop the "_**efficiency-nodes-comfyui**_" folder into the "_**...\ComfyUI\ComfyUI\custom_nodes**_" directory and restart UI.
