A CLI for exploring prompts
You hate writing prompts? But you love the results of good prompts?
You hate that you can't use ComfyUI just with a keyboard and need to use a mouse all the time?
Then this is the tool for you!
Generate and explore amazing prompts with ease, while having fun with it because of a well thought out process.
Pyro's CLI works with:
- virtually any ComfyUI workflow (Images, videos whatever you want)
- supports ollama, openai, anthropic, groq (with 'q'), gemini for its optional advanced AI features (currently in progress)
Pyro's CLI enables you to:
- create dynamic prompts via prompt variables
- do batch generation
- take any prompt as start and let AI enhance it, create prompt templates out of it, and chat gpt-4o style with it until you get the image you have in your head (currently in progress)
all while leaning back with your keyboard and not having to worry about spaghetti cables and nodes.
A terminal that supports more than two colors.
iterm2 on macOS is recommended or the surprisingly good Windows Terminal on Windows.

Make your live easy and get uv installed.
It's a package and project manager for python which requires neither python installed nor knowledge of python.
https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/
Create a new directory, navigate with your terminal into it and run:
uvx --prerelease=allow pyros-cliThat's it!
Start ComfyUI and open your favorite workflow.
Doesn't matter if video or image or whatever else!
In the settings activate Dev Mode
Export your workflow in API mode.
Save it into the directory you created during the installation
To let Pyro's CLI know how it needs to interact with your workflow and to guarantee maximum compatibility it needs some information about some nodes.
Open the exported workflow in a text editor of your choice and search for following nodes:
- The node where your prompt is defined
- The node which generates the seed
- The node where the amount of steps for generation is set
For each node write down its id (usually a number), and how the property is called
For example in my workflow this is the prompt node:
We will note "109" and "text"
And for the seed node we note "80" and "noise_seed"
Start Pyro's CLI with uvx --prerelease=allow pyros-cli
Hit 'y' for reconfiguring the settings.
Enter the right values for your network setup (if ComfyUI is running on the same computer the defaults should work right away)
Set your exported workflow
Then enter the values you got from the previous step
You did it!
Pyro's CLI is now configured and good to go. Don't worry, it'll remember your inputs and you only have to reconfigure them if you want to change workflows!
Let's explore what Pyro's CLI offers!
Type in some text, hit enter, enjoy
simple_prompt.mp4
Use prompt variables for dynamic prompt generation.

Besides prompts you can also input commands.
Get a list of them with /help
Here an overview:
Use the /gallery command to open the gallery in your browser (Cntrl+C to close)
gallery.mp4
The prompt you type in is the so-called Base Prompt
This prompt will get evaluated by static algorithms and/or AI and will result in the evaluated prompt we will call Eval Prompt
Prompt variables are text files containing lines of possible value.
For example __animal__ contains a list of animals, and by executing the prompt a random animel will get chosen
Usage:
__variablename__ # will get replaced with a random entry of this variable
__variablename:123__ # will get replaced with entry 123 of this variable
# some provided prompt vars
__75k__ # 75000 prompts
__animal__ # some cute animals
__builder/*__ # some building blocks
