 # ComfyUI Model Downloader - A Beautiful CLI Tool
 # Downloads AI models from HuggingFace and creates symlinks to ComfyUI directories
 #
-# Usage: ./artifact_comfyui_download.sh [COMMAND] [options]
+# Usage: ./artifact_huggingface_download.sh [COMMAND] [OPTIONS]
 #
-# Commands: download, link, both (default)
+# Commands:
+#   download    Download models from HuggingFace to cache directory
+#   link        Create symlinks from cache to ComfyUI models directory
+#   both        Download and link (default)
+#   verify      Verify symlinks in ComfyUI models directory
+#
+# Options:
+#   -c, --config FILE       Path to YAML configuration file
+#   --cache-dir DIR         HuggingFace cache directory (default: auto-detect)
+#   --comfyui-dir DIR       ComfyUI installation directory
+#   --filter-repo REPO...   Only process specific repositories
+#   --category CAT1[,CAT2]  Filter by category (comma-separated for multiple)
+#   --cleanup, --clean      Remove unused cache files (link/both only)
+#   --dry-run, -n           Show what would be done without making changes
+#
+# Examples:
+#   # Download and link all models from config
+#   ./artifact_huggingface_download.sh both -c models.yaml
+#
+#   # Download only specific categories
+#   ./artifact_huggingface_download.sh download -c models.yaml --category image_models,video_models
+#
+#   # Link with cleanup (remove unused cache files)
+#   ./artifact_huggingface_download.sh link -c models.yaml --cleanup
+#
+#   # Dry-run to preview operations
+#   ./artifact_huggingface_download.sh both -c models.yaml --dry-run
+#
+#   # Process only specific repositories
