Is the Anima Base skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from artokun/comfyui-mcp. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Anima Base SkillProof Score?

8.4/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 6/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Anima Base?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Anima Base with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Works with setup
Score: 8.4/10
Tested: Jul 31, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 1885aa8

Fetched SKILL.md (200) and spot-checked 3 referenced files (packs/anima/workflow.json, install-runpod.sh, anima-lora-trainer/SKILL.md) all 200. Cross-checked the skill's stated node values against the actual shipped workflow.json and they match exactly: CLIPLoader [qwen_3_06b_base.safetensors, stable_diffusion, default], UNETLoader anima-base-v1.0.safetensors, KSampler steps 12 / cfg 1 / er_sde / simple. For output I wrote a naive baseline workflow (CheckpointLoaderSimple) vs the skill's split-loader workflow: the baseline cannot even load Anima (no single-file checkpoint exists) and uses wrong euler/cfg7/25-step settings, while the skill's matches the working pack (er_sde/cfg1/12-step turbo). I could not execute either workflow (no ComfyUI, GPU, or ~10GB of models), so no rendered image was measured — hence setup, outputMeasured=false.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

Installs cleanly 5/5
Triggers reliably 5/5
Output vs. baseline 6/10
Docs & honesty 5/5

What Anima Base does

A reference skill that teaches Claude how to author ComfyUI workflow JSON for CircleStone Labs' ANIMA 1.0 anime/illustration text-to-image model (a ~2B Cosmos DiT, not SDXL). Covers the split UNET/CLIP(Qwen3-0.6B)/VAE loaders, turbo vs base sampler/CFG settings, recommended resolutions, Danbooru+natural-language prompt structure, and Anima-LLLite ControlNet inpainting. Triggers when the user asks to generate anime, manga, or illustrated characters in ComfyUI, or names the Anima model.

How to install Anima Base

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/artokun/comfyui-mcp.git /tmp/anima-base-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/anima-base-src/plugin/skills/anima-base ~/.claude/skills/anima-base
# Reference/knowledge skill: it teaches Claude to build ComfyUI Anima workflow JSON. No exec in the skill itself.
# To actually RUN the produced workflow you need: ComfyUI + a GPU (works on <6GB VRAM) + the comfyui-mcp MCP server (npx -y comfyui-mcp) + ~10GB of models downloaded from huggingface.co/Aitrepreneur/FLX (base, Qwen text encoder, VAE, LoRAs, LLLite controlnets, YOLO/SAM detailers).
# Plugin-marketplace alternative: the repo is a Claude plugin (.claude-plugin/marketplace.json) bundling ~35 ComfyUI skills.

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Anima Base
