# Set Up a Messaging Channel
Guide the user through installing a messaging plugin so they can reach this agent from their phone or desktop.
**IMPORTANT — architectural limitation**: The agent CANNOT execute `/plugin marketplace add` or `/plugin install` — these are REPL-only commands. This skill SHOWS the user the exact commands to run, and guides them through the flow.
