⚠ This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (repo unreachable/deleted). The test below is what we measured on Jul 25, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.
Ran the yarn.co search component live: it returns HTTP 403 behind a Cloudflare 'Just a moment' challenge, so the skill's headline curl_cffi bypass no longer works and the primary pipeline can't complete. The only reachable route (playphrase.me, HTTP 200) needs Playwright, which isn't listed in requirements.txt (only curl_cffi + faster-whisper are) and needs a Chromium plus Whisper-model download, so I could not produce a real fragmovie to compare against baseline. Code is clean and well-structured with no exfil, but README's 'no cloud calls' claim is false (it scrapes two sites) and the Cloudflare-bypass claim is currently broken.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 3/10
- Docs & honesty 3/5
What Bumblebee does
Takes an English phrase and greedily slices it into the longest runs of words actually spoken on screen, downloads the matching yarn.co / playphrase.me clips, transcribes them locally with faster-whisper for millisecond-precise cuts, and concatenates a fragmovie. Triggers on 'splice a fragmovie', 'make a video where actors say X', or 'bumblebee'. Mix mode builds several distinct cuts of one phrase without reusing clips.
How to install Bumblebee
Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Bumblebee skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from solyanviktor-star/Bumblebee. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Bumblebee work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 25, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Didn't pass.

- How do I install Bumblebee?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Bumblebee with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
