LTX 2.3 AIO Generator Implementation Plan

For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (- [ ]) syntax for tracking.

Goal: Build a Gradio app that wraps the existing ComfyUI LTX 2.3 All-In-One workflow into a polished mode-specific UI, runnable locally (MPS/CUDA) and on Hugging Face Spaces (ZeroGPU, Pro tier).

Architecture: Gradio frontend β†’ workflow JSON parameterizer β†’ bundled ComfyUI in library mode (comfy.execution.PromptExecutor). Six mode-specific workflow JSON templates extracted from the master workflow; per-mode parameterize_fn translates Gradio inputs into node patches. Same code locally and on Spaces; the only divergence is @spaces.GPU decoration and model storage location.

Tech Stack: Python 3.11, Gradio 5.x, spaces, huggingface_hub, ComfyUI (vendored as git submodule + runtime clone on Spaces) + custom nodes (ComfyUI-LTXVideo, ComfyUI-KJNodes, rgthree-comfy, ComfyUI-VideoHelperSuite, ComfyUI-Custom-Scripts), pytest, ruff.

Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-30-ltx23-aio-generator-design.md

Phase 0 β€” Foundations

Task 1: requirements.txt

Files:

  • Create: requirements.txt

  • Step 1: Create requirements.txt

gradio>=5.0,<6.0
spaces>=0.30.0
huggingface_hub>=0.27.0
torch>=2.4.0
torchvision
torchaudio
numpy
Pillow
einops
safetensors
tqdm

# Dev / test
pytest>=8.0
pytest-asyncio>=0.23
ruff>=0.5
  • Step 2: Create pyproject.toml so pytest finds the flat-layout modules and ruff rules are pinned
[tool.pytest.ini_options]
pythonpath = ["."]
markers = [
    "gpu: marks tests that need a GPU (use --gpu to enable)",
]

[tool.ruff]
line-length = 100
target-version = "py311"

[tool.ruff.lint]
select = ["E", "F", "I", "B", "UP"]
ignore = ["E501"]  # line length is enforced by formatter, not linter

[tool.ruff.lint.per-file-ignores]
"tests/*" = ["E402"]  # imports inside test functions are fine
  • Step 3: Verify both files parse

Run: python3.11 -m pip install --dry-run -r requirements.txt 2>&1 | head -5 Expected: pip resolves package names without "ERROR: Invalid requirement" lines (network errors are fine β€” we're checking syntax).

Run: python3.11 -c "import tomllib; print(list(tomllib.loads(open('pyproject.toml').read()).keys()))" Expected: ['tool']

  • Step 4: Commit
git add requirements.txt pyproject.toml
git commit -m "chore: pin runtime + dev dependencies and configure pytest/ruff"

Task 2: setup.sh

Files:

  • Create: setup.sh

  • Step 1: Write setup.sh

echo "βœ“ Setup complete."
echo "  Activate venv: source .venv/bin/activate"
echo "  Run app:        python app.py"
  • Step 2: Make executable

Run: chmod +x setup.sh Expected: no output, exit 0.

  • Step 3: Commit
git add setup.sh
git commit -m "chore: idempotent setup.sh β€” venv, submodule, custom nodes, models"

# LTX 2.3 All-in-One Video Generator

A Gradio app for [LTX-2.3](https://huggingface.co/Lightricks/LTX-2.3) wrapping all six modes of the official ComfyUI All-In-One workflow under a single, focused UI. Runs locally on Apple Silicon (MPS) or NVIDIA (CUDA), and deploys to Hugging Face Spaces (ZeroGPU).

## Modes

1. **Text β†’ Video** (+ optional Audio)
2. **Audio β†’ Video** (Text + Audio β†’ Video + Audio)
3. **Image β†’ Video** (+ optional Audio)
4. **Lipsync** (Image + Audio β†’ Video + Audio)
5. **First / Last Frame β†’ Video** (keyframe interpolation)
6. **Style Transfer** (Video β†’ Video, motion control)

## Local quickstart

Requires Python 3.11, ~80 GB free disk for model weights, and ~24 GB+ GPU memory (CUDA) or 32 GB+ unified memory (Apple Silicon).

```bash
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/<your-handle>/ltx2.3-AIO-generator
cd ltx2.3-AIO-generator
bash setup.sh
source .venv/bin/activate
python app.py

The first run downloads 70 GB of models into your existing `/.cache/huggingface/hub(no duplicate copies in this repo) and symlinks them intocomfyui/models/`.

HF Spaces deployment

This repo is a Gradio Space. The required Pro tier provides ~50 GB persistent /data storage and longer per-call ZeroGPU budgets needed for Balanced and Quality presets.

git remote add space https://huggingface.co/spaces/<your-handle>/ltx2.3-aio
git push space main

License

MIT for the AIO app code. ComfyUI and LTX-2.3 retain their respective licenses.

Note: the node-id constants (e.g. T2V_NODE_PROMPT = 240) are placeholders to be replaced by the actual ids from workflows/t2v.json. After Task 7 generates the templates, capture the real ids by running:

and replace each constant with the matching node id. This step is part of Step 4.

Run the inspection command above for both t2v.json and i2v.json. Replace the constants with the real ids. Re-read the test in Step 1 β€” it must still pass.

  • Step 2: End-to-end smoke run (T2V Fast preset)

Run: python3.11 app.py

In the browser:

  1. Open the Text β†’ Video tab.
  2. Type a short prompt (e.g., "a cat walking through a park, cinematic").
  3. Pick Fast preset.
  4. Set frames to 9, width 320, height 480 (smallest valid for fastest test).
  5. Click Generate.

Expected: status banner updates through stages (Encode prompt β†’ Diffusion β†’ Decode), then a video appears in the right panel within 1–3 minutes on local MPS. (If first run, expect 30+ minutes for model downloads.)

  • Step 3: Commit
git add app.py
git commit -m "feat(app): generate handler β€” async streaming, status banner, video output"

Phase 7 β€” CI

Task 24: .github/workflows/ci.yml

Files:

  • Create: .github/workflows/ci.yml

  • Step 1: Write CI workflow

name: CI

on:
  push:
  pull_request:

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          submodules: false  # ComfyUI submodule not needed for L1+L3 tests

      - uses: actions/setup-python@v5
        with:
          python-version: "3.11"

      - name: Install runtime + dev deps
        run: |
          pip install -U pip
          pip install -r requirements.txt

      - name: Run unit + integration tests (no GPU)
        run: |
          python -m pytest tests/ -v -m "not gpu"

      - name: Lint
        run: |
          ruff check .
          ruff format --check .
  • Step 2: Locally verify the lint command passes

Run: python3.11 -m ruff check . && python3.11 -m ruff format --check . Expected: no errors. If formatter complains, run ruff format . and commit the changes.

  • Step 3: Commit
git add .github/workflows/ci.yml
git commit -m "ci: run unit tests + ruff lint on every push"

Task 25: .github/workflows/deploy-space.yml (optional)

Files:

  • Create: .github/workflows/deploy-space.yml

  • Step 1: Write deploy workflow

name: Deploy to HF Space

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
          submodules: false

      - name: Configure git LFS
        run: |
          git lfs install --skip-smudge

      - name: Push to HF Space
        env:
          HF_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.HF_TOKEN }}
          HF_USER: ${{ secrets.HF_USER }}
          HF_SPACE: ltx2.3-aio
        run: |
          git remote add space "https://$HF_USER:$HF_TOKEN@huggingface.co/spaces/$HF_USER/$HF_SPACE"
          git push --force space main
  • Step 2: Commit
git add .github/workflows/deploy-space.yml
git commit -m "ci: optional deploy-on-main to HF Space"

Manual setup (one-time, not part of this plan): Add HF_TOKEN and HF_USER secrets in the GitHub repo settings. Create the Space at https://huggingface.co/new-space with SDK=Gradio, Hardware=ZeroGPU.


Phase 8 β€” End-to-end verification

Task 26: Local smoke for all six modes

No code changes β€” verification only.

  • Step 1: Run app.py and exercise each mode at Fast preset
source .venv/bin/activate
python3.11 app.py

For each of T2V, A2V, I2V, Lipsync, Keyframe, Style:

  1. Open the mode's tab.
  2. Provide minimum-viable inputs (prompt + any required media at the smallest legal resolution: 320Γ—480, frames=9, fps=24).
  3. Click Generate.
  4. Verify the status banner progresses through stages and the video appears.

Each generation should complete in 1–5 minutes on local MPS (after models are cached).

  • Step 2: Capture timings + memory peaks

For each mode, note: total wall time, peak resident memory (use Activity Monitor on macOS or nvidia-smi --loop=2 on CUDA). Add to the README's "Local quickstart" section.

  • Step 3: Commit any timing notes
git add README.md
git commit -m "docs: per-mode timing/memory measurements on Apple Silicon" || true

Task 27: HF Spaces test deployment

No code changes β€” deploy + verify.

  • Step 1: Push to a personal HF Space
git remote add space https://huggingface.co/spaces/<your-handle>/ltx2.3-aio-test
git push --force space main
  • Step 2: Watch the Space build

In the Space's "Logs" tab, verify:

  • ComfyUI clones to /data/comfyui on first cold start (takes ~3–5 min).

  • Custom nodes install cleanly.

  • requirements.txt resolves on Python 3.11.

  • Step 3: Run a Fast-preset T2V on the Space

Same minimum-viable inputs as Task 26. Expected: completes within the 60s ZeroGPU duration on Pro tier (after model download has populated /data/models).

  • Step 4: Note any deviations from local behavior

Any divergence (e.g., slower download, different VAE behavior) gets a follow-up issue.

  • Step 5: Optionally promote to a public Space

If everything works, repeat the deploy with the user-facing Space name (<your-handle>/ltx2.3-aio).

Plan complete

Plan saved to docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-30-ltx23-aio-generator.md.

Two execution options:

1. Subagent-Driven (recommended) β€” I dispatch a fresh subagent per task, review between tasks, fast iteration. Best for a plan this long because it keeps each task's context tight.

2. Inline Execution β€” Execute tasks in this session using superpowers:executing-plans, batch execution with checkpoints.

Which approach?
