The groups in this family, counted just now: — actions
This family among all — actions in the Directory, one square each
Each action is one row in the Directory, sorted into this family by the start of its name.
What it can do

Each card is a group of actions that do similar work. The number on each card is how many actions are in that group right now.

How it is run
How any of these actions is run.
The same way as every other action in the Directory: one request, the same permissions, one record.
You don’t have to pick an action yourself. You text what you want; the AI assistant picks the action and runs it within the permissions you set. The result comes back to you, and the request, the result and who asked are written to the Ledger, the record of everything the system has done.
Every action is one row in the Directory, and each row can be run — ways: a text, a link, a spreadsheet cell, an iPhone Shortcut, a command, or an AI model’s request. Every way goes through dispatch: one web address that looks the action up, checks the permissions, runs it on the right computer, sends back the result and writes a Ledger entry. The same action answers every way, under the same limits.
Dispatch takes an HTTP POST (a standard web request) of {"key": "<action name>", "args": {…}}. The same key works over the API (the web address your software calls), MCP (Model Context Protocol, the standard way AI apps connect to outside tools), the command line (CLI), a webhook (an address another program posts to), a spreadsheet cell or a Shortcut. A token (a key or a link) can be limited to exactly the actions you allow; every call, and every refusal, is a Ledger entry.
