Connect compatible Pipe stages, inspect the combined graph, and export the finished tool as a .tea package.
Before you start #
Each source Pipe should validate independently. Composition expects a declared output from the first stage and compatible inputs in the next.
Pipe composition connects one alpha declared output to compatible omega inputs. Optional Text, Image, and Video carry mappings can pass supported values between stages. Studio validates the composed graph and presents its stages in the editor before export.
Compose stages #
- Open Pipes → Compose.
- Choose the alpha Pipe that produces the intermediate result.
- Choose a compatible omega Pipe.
- Select the input that should receive the declared output.
- Add only the Text, Image, or Video carry mappings the second stage needs.
- Build the composition.
- Inspect the combined graph and generated controls.
- Revalidate and run a small end-to-end proof.
Export a .tea package #
- Confirm the Pipe name and description.
- Review exposed controls and defaults.
- Check dependency reporting on a clean or representative engine.
- Export from the Pipes library.
- Re-import the package into a separate test profile when it will be shared broadly.
The package carries the workflow-backed tool. Model weights and custom-node repositories remain dependencies and should be identified clearly.
Share with context #
Include the intended outcome, expected media type, required dependencies, model family, and a useful baseline. Public publishing adds creator identity, versioning, trust, and catalog metadata through Web publishing.
