Some people call them “bang commands”, but they have a larger scope than those that provide information and act has hyperlinks once did in the past. Info commands are single words that begin with a bang (!) and pull up an info node that fits under 380 characters (an arbitrary, but good, size set by Twitch/IRC). This size also fits well in Tweets. And God knows the world is obsessed with bite-sized information these days.

😎💻 Hacking is a mind-set. Hackers figures shit out, !autodidacts who
make stuff do what they want in unexpected ways. Hackers learn more
about than the original creators. That's it. Hackers are, therefore,
pragmatic scientists. They !RWX their way though life for fun and
profit. Learn to think like a hacker. You'll be smarter for it. Hack
the planet!

I’m using YAML for them with the title as the key and a reference link. I generally start them with emojis of some kind as a way to roughly categorize them. I don’t think I’ll every formalize that. It just ensures that info command output doesn’t get mixed up with real output from me if my bot is running as me. I can have synonyms as well with YAML.
The info command tags themselves also make amazing Twitter and zettel tags, so there can be some interlinking using that.
