Definition: CLIP Skip (CLIPSetLastLayer)

In ComfyUI, CLIPSetLastLayer uses negative integers: -1 is the final layer (standard), and -2 skips the final layer (equivalent to CLIP Skip 2 in WebUIs).
How to tune this in your ComfyUI workflow
Every parameter in ComfyUI is exposed directly on its node rather than hidden behind global settings tabs. You can inspect or override this behavior per pass in ComfyUI Studio.
