He's right, an ArchLinux user will know about the AUR, but you can refer them to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository as a starting point if you wish to make sure.

I think it's important to keep the disconnect and do point people to the wiki like Max says rather than just say "install helper", *and* to highlight that AUR is *user* content, not subject to the normal QA and vetting from the main repository, and not endorsed by Arch
