wtf is comfyui-loratags?

ComfyUI-LoraTags is a custom node extension for ComfyUI, a visual tool used to build AI image generation workflows with Stable Diffusion style models. It replaces the standard way of loading LoRA files, which are small add-on models that adjust an image generator's style or subject, with a single node that can stack many LoRAs at once instead of chaining together separate loader nodes one after another. A key feature is automatic tag fetching from Civitai, a popular site for sharing these LoRA models. The plugin calculates a hash of your LoRA file and looks it up on Civitai to pull down the model's official name, its trigger words, a handful of preview images, and a link back to its page. Those trigger words, the specific phrases a LoRA expects in a prompt to work properly, get saved into a single JSON file inside the plugin folder rather than scattered across separate text files, and are organized based on your existing folder structure for LoRAs. Tags can be either automatically retrieved from Civitai or typed in by hand, and they are shown as small bubble icons on the canvas. There is also a companion node called CLIP Text Encode with Auto Tags, which automatically appends the active trigger words from your stacked LoRAs into your prompt, so you do not have to copy and paste them manually. If you prefer manual control, there is also a one click button to copy the trigger words to your clipboard. The interface is built with a custom canvas rendering approach rather than the default ComfyUI widget style, aiming for a cleaner, more modern look. Installation is done by cloning the repository into ComfyUI's custom_nodes folder and restarting the application. The project is released under the MIT license.
