 Agora RFCs might be of varying length and detail, spanning in length from that of common IETF RFC to a tweet or toot describing a social custom to be considered by the community. RFCs which are judged promising by a community will generate and can be expounded about at greater length by the interested community and potentially worked upon in a [[Stoa]].
 
+## [[Agora Actions]]
+An Agora action is, in general, a hint left by a user of [[Agora Protocol]] for the Agora. The purpose of the hint (its nature) is defined by the action; by default, though, Agora actions ainterpreted as [[intents]].

+The sections below exemplify this.

 ## [[Go links]]
 
 Go links provide an interest base case to study in the field of provisioning and (pro socially) exploiting[^exploiting] a [[knowledge commons]]. Put simply, [[go links]] are named social bookmarks -- strings of text (usually slugged, but not necessarily) associated with URLs by users in a community of practice.
 
+As an [[Agora action]], the contract provided by Go links is as such:

+- When you tag a URL with #go or [[go]] by placing said links previous to it in your writing, an Agora will interpret this as an intent to create a Go Link and provision and provide one for you on querying.

 [^exploiting]: TODO: there's probably a better term for this in [[Free, Fair and Alive]].
 
 [[Go links]] are a [[cognitive tool]] which was developed in [[Silicon Valley]] corporations and has the potential to spread and provide utility at internet scale. As [[cognitive artifacts]] they have a meaningful [[complementary]] component, which makes them interesting as a case study of [[Agora RFCs]] regardless of primary utility of application.

   - The trivial extension case for them is social bookmarking; even with invidivuals (not groups) claiming go link space recall of links spreads through a community of practice.
   - Sharing documents becomes simpler by definition in a community of practice that is go links aware. Instead of locating a resource and invoking a sharing flow to share, users are able to say to each other 'go thisdoc' (meaning either go/thisdoc or go/this-doc by convention), effectively transferring a URL in spoken word very efficiently, depending only on a previously understood mechanism to resolve such links (at a well known point, ideally a [[schelling point]]).
