Flux Kontext Pro — Pro Pack on RunComfy
runcomfy.com · Model page · GitHub
Black Forest Labs' Flux 1 Kontext Pro — single-reference precise local image edit — hosted on the RunComfy Model API. Strong prompt control, consistent outputs, high fidelity.
When to pick this model (vs siblings)
If the user said "Flux Kontext" / "kontext" / "BFL Kontext" explicitly, route here regardless.
Prerequisites
- RunComfy CLI —
npm i -g @runcomfy/cli - RunComfy account —
runcomfy loginopens a browser device-code flow. - CI / containers — set
RUNCOMFY_TOKEN=<token>instead ofruncomfy login.
Endpoints + input schema
blackforestlabs/flux-1-kontext/pro/edit
The schema is intentionally minimal — Kontext leans on prompt + single ref. For multi-image or web-grounded edits, route to Nano Banana Edit.
How to invoke
Default — local edit, preserve everything else:
With seed for reproducible variant series:
Prompting — what actually works
One declarative instruction. Kontext shines on prompts shaped like the docs example: "She is now holding an orange umbrella and smiling". Imperative mood, single change.
Preservation first. Lead with "Keep [identity / pose / framing / brand] unchanged." Then the change. Models honor what's stated up front.
Single ref only — pick the right one. No multi-image fanout here. If you have multiple references, decide which is primary and pass that one. For multi-image flows, route to Nano Banana Edit.
Iterate on small changes. If Kontext drifts, split a compound edit into sequential single-instruction passes (pass 1: change background, pass 2: change clothing).
Aspect ratio — pick from the supported enum. Out-of-list values 422 or crop.
Anti-patterns:
- Compound prompts ("change A and add B and remove C") → drift.
- Trying to fan out to multiple source images → wrong model (use Nano Banana Edit).
- Prompts written in passive voice → less reliable.
- Asking for novel composition without a source image → wrong model (use Flux 2 Klein t2i).

Limitations
- Single source image only. For multi-image flows, use Nano Banana Edit (1–20).
- Public RunComfy docs are minimal — schema fields beyond prompt + image + aspect_ratio + seed may exist; check the model page for the latest field list.
- Compound prompts drift — split into sequential passes.
- For multilingual / embedded text editing, GPT Image 2 edit usually wins.

How it works
The skill invokes runcomfy run blackforestlabs/flux-1-kontext/pro/edit with a JSON body matching the schema. The CLI POSTs to https://model-api.runcomfy.net/v1/models/blackforestlabs/flux-1-kontext/pro/edit, 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 & Privacy
- Token storage:
runcomfy loginwrites the API token to~/.config/runcomfy/token.jsonwith mode 0600 (owner-only read/write). SetRUNCOMFY_TOKENenv 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.
