Let one session message another existing session (Telegram topic, group thread or DM), waking it like a user turn so the reply lands in that chat

## Good to know before installing

Starts agent turns in other existing gateway sessions (any routed chat, including groups, and from cron jobs) via ctx.inject_message, only after plugins.entries.walkie-talkie.allow_gateway_injection: true; after an accepted handoff it posts a visible copy into the target chat through Hermes's send_message helper using your existing gateway bot credentials; reads state.db, config.yaml and cron/jobs.json read-only; no network calls of its own, no shell, no telemetry.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install walkie-talkie
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable walkie-talkie
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
