The agent reads this table, classifies the user's intent, and picks the matching subsection below.

Prerequisites

  • RunComfy CLInpm i -g @runcomfy/cli
  • RunComfy accountruncomfy login opens a browser device-code flow.
  • CI / containers — set RUNCOMFY_TOKEN=<token>.
  • A source image URL — JPEG/PNG/WebP, min 300px, ≤10MB; aspect 1:2.5 to 2.5:1 (HappyHorse) — other models have similar specs.

Route 1: HappyHorse 1.0 I2V — default for portrait / product / general animation

Model: happyhorse/happyhorse-1-0/image-to-video · Arena rank: #1 (Elo 1392)

Output aspect = input aspect. No independent reframing.

Invoke

runcomfy run happyhorse/happyhorse-1-0/image-to-video \

  --input '{

    "image_url": "https://.../portrait.jpg",

    "prompt": "Gentle camera drift around the subject'\''s face, subtle breathing motion, identity-stable features, soft natural light."

  }' \

  --output-dir <absolute/path>

Prompting tips

  • Lead with motion verbs: "drift", "dolly in", "orbit", "tilt up", "reveal", "blink", "breathe". Front-load what's MOVING.
  • Don't restate the image — the model sees it. Focus tokens on what changes.
  • Preservation goals explicit: "identity-stable features", "packaging unchanged", "background geometry stable".
  • Lighting evolution: "rim light intensifying", "shadows shortening as camera rises".
  • One beat per clip — single primary motion (orbit OR dolly OR tilt OR character action).

Route 2: Wan 2.7 + audio_url — when the user has a custom voiceover

Model: wan-ai/wan-2-7/text-to-video (NOT /image-to-video — Wan 2.7's t2v endpoint accepts an audio_url that drives lip-sync)

Note on i2v with Wan 2.7: Wan 2.7's primary i2v animation isn't on a dedicated endpoint here. For pure i2v (image animated by motion prompt only), prefer HappyHorse i2v. Use Wan 2.7 specifically when the user has a custom audio track they want lip-synced to a generated talking-head clip.

Schema (Wan 2.7 t2v with audio)

Field

Type

Required

Default

Notes

prompt

string

yes

Up to ~5000 chars. Describe the talking-head shot: framing, lighting, motion.

audio_url

string

yes (for lip-sync)

WAV/MP3, 3–30s, ≤15MB. Drives lip-sync.

aspect_ratio

no

16:9

16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4.

Invoke

runcomfy run wan-ai/wan-2-7/text-to-video \

  --input '{

    "prompt": "Medium close-up of a confident spokesperson in a softly-lit recording booth, leaning slightly toward the camera, locked tripod, shallow DOF, warm key light from camera-left.",

    "audio_url": "https://.../voiceover-en.mp3",

    "duration": 12,

    "aspect_ratio": "9:16"

  }' \

  --output-dir <absolute/path>

Prompting tips

  • Describe the talking-head shot — framing, lighting, lens feel. The audio drives the lip-sync; the prompt builds the visual frame around it.
  • **Match duration to audio length** — clip will be silent past the audio if too long.
  • **Use negative_prompt for issues**: "no subtitles, no flicker, no distorted hands".
  • For multi-language dubs — same prompt, swap audio_url per call. Lock seed for visual consistency across languages.

Route 3: Seedance 2.0 Pro — multi-modal animation (image + ref video + ref audio)

Model: bytedance/seedance-v2/pro

Use when the user wants a single clip that combines: a subject image + scene from a reference video + voice tone from a reference audio.

Schema (Seedance 2.0 Pro, i2v-relevant fields)

Field

Type

Required

Default

Notes

prompt

bool

no

true

In-pass synchronized speech / SFX / music.

seed

int

no

Invoke

runcomfy run bytedance/seedance-v2/pro \

  --input '{

    "prompt": "Subject from image 1 walks through the café in video 1, voice tone matches audio 1. Medium close-up, slow push-in, warm light, gentle ambience.",

    "image_url": ["https://.../subject.jpg"],

    "video_url": ["https://.../cafe-locked-shot.mp4"],

    "audio_url": ["https://.../voice-tone.mp3"],

    "duration": 8

  }' \

  --output-dir <absolute/path>

Prompting tips

  • Image vs text division — use image_url for what must stay stable (face, costume, brand); use prompt for what should evolve (action, mood, lighting).
  • Number the refs in the prompt: "subject from image 1, lighting from video 1, voice from audio 1". Seedance routes cues correctly.
  • Reference media specs — videos / audio must be 2–15s; audio < 15MB.
  • Don't mix radically different aesthetics — if image 1 is a watercolor and video 1 is photoreal, output drifts.

Limitations

  • Each route inherits its model's limits. HappyHorse: 15s cap, output aspect = input aspect. Wan 2.7: 15s cap, audio 3–30s/15MB. Seedance: 720p ceiling on this template, 15s cap.
  • No multi-route blending. This skill picks one model per call. If the user wants HappyHorse animation + Wan-style lip-sync in the same clip, that's two calls + a stitch (out of scope here).
  • Brand-specific overrides — if the user named a specific model variant not listed (e.g. Wan 2.6, Seedance 1.5), route to the corresponding brand skill (wan-2-7, seedance-v2) instead of forcing it through here.

How it works

The skill picks one of HappyHorse 1.0 I2V / Wan 2.7 t2v+audio / Seedance 2.0 Pro based on user intent and invokes runcomfy run <model_id> with the matching JSON body. The CLI POSTs to the Model API, polls the request, fetches the result, and downloads any .runcomfy.net/.runcomfy.com URL into --output-dir. Ctrl-C cancels the remote request before exit.

Security &#x26; Privacy

  • Token storage: runcomfy login writes the API token to ~/.config/runcomfy/token.json with mode 0600 (owner-only read/write). Set RUNCOMFY_TOKEN env var to bypass the file entirely in CI / containers.
  • Input boundary: the user prompt is passed as a JSON string to the CLI via --input. The CLI does NOT shell-expand the prompt; it transmits the JSON body directly to the Model API over HTTPS. No shell injection surface from prompt content.
  • Third-party content: image / mask / video URLs you pass are fetched by the RunComfy model server, not by the CLI on your machine. Treat external URLs as untrusted; image-based prompt injection is a known risk for any image-edit / video-edit model.
  • Outbound endpoints: only model-api.runcomfy.net (request submission) and *.runcomfy.net / *.runcomfy.com (download whitelist for generated outputs). No telemetry, no callbacks.
  • Generated-file size cap: the CLI aborts any single download > 2 GiB to prevent disk-fill from a malicious or runaway model output.
