# Actions
Guidelines for implementing IntelliJ actions (`AnAction`).
## Documentation
- [Action System](../../../../docs/IntelliJ-Platform/4_man/Action-System.md) - Architecture and usage of the action system
## Best Practices
- **NEVER instantiate Presentation in action constructors** - Use no-argument constructors
- **Define text, description, and icon in plugin.xml** - Not in constructor parameters
- **Follow the convention:**
1. Set the `id` attribute for the action in plugin.xml
2. Optionally set the `icon` attribute if an icon is needed
3. Set text and description in the message bundle (e.g., GitBundle.properties):
- `action.<action-id>.text=Translated Action Text`
- `action.<action-id>.description=Translated Action Description`
**Good example:**
Kotlin:
```kotlin
class MyAction : AnAction()
```
plugin.xml:
```xml
<action id="My.Action.Id"
class="my.package.MyAction"
icon="my.package.MyIcons.ICON"/>
```
Bundle.properties:
```properties
action.My.Action.Id.text=My Action
action.My.Action.Id.description=Description of my action
```
