This skill fetches and summarizes YouTube transcripts and routes requests through a WireGuard residential IP. It executes system commands (wg, wg-quick, ip), writes WireGuard keys/configs (/etc/wireguard/privatekey, /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf), and makes network requests to https://noembed.com and https://www.youtube.com.
