# June 26: strip_workflow & slice_workflow — load any expert graph

> Two new workflow tools resolve GetNode/SetNode buses + Reroutes into real connections and un-chunk rgthree Fast-Groups-Bypass-toggled pipelines — so an agent can load an ad-hoc expert workflow from any path and get clean, runnable wiring without hand-tracing.

*June 26, 2026*

Expert and community ComfyUI graphs are often unreadable to an agent: thick with
**virtual wiring** (GetNode/SetNode buses, Reroutes) and **rgthree "Fast Groups
Bypasser/Muter" toggled pipelines** (one graph holding several pipelines, only one
active). Two new tools turn them into clean, runnable wiring.

## `strip_workflow` — the de-virtualizer

`strip_workflow` (and the panel `panel_strip_workflow`) reads a workflow from **any**
server-side path, library filename, or inline graph and resolves Get/Set buses,
Reroutes, subgraph definitions, and bypassed/muted nodes into **real connections** —
returning the flat, runnable graph. Unlike `get_workflow` it isn't gated on the
cached library, so it loads ad-hoc files the workflow list can't resolve. On a 155KB
staged expert example it resolved every GetNode/SetNode/Reroute to 37 clean nodes,
read server-side so the big graph never shuttles through chat.

## `slice_workflow` — the un-chunker

`slice_workflow` (panel `panel_slice_workflow`) carves ONE pipeline out of a
toggle-template monolith: seed from the output nodes in the named groups, take the
backward closure through links + Set/Get buses, un-bypass the kept nodes and their
subgraph internals, and return a standalone activated graph. Pair it with
`strip_workflow` to then flatten the buses — together they turn an ULTRA-style
monolith into a single clean pipeline without hand-rebuilding. The
`scripts/slice-pipeline.mjs` CLI now runs on the same shared `sliceWorkflow()`
service, so the tool and the pack-building pipeline can't drift.

## Under the hood

Both ride on a hardened UI→API converter — the recurring "graph silently produces
nothing" class is gone: rgthree Power Lora Loader loras now translate (they were
being dropped), invalid combo values fall back to the object\_info default, and
type-mismatched links are dropped instead of failing the whole output branch. The
panel agent's system prompt now says when to reach for each: **`strip`** to read or
rebuild a tangled graph, **`slice`** first when a monolith bundles several toggled
pipelines.
