Abstract: The integration of digital information technology and administrative power poses challenges to government governance centered on the rule of law. The application of administrative action codes as a digital administrative law enforcement method is an important manifestation of the combination of digital governance and the rule of law, and contains institutional logic for the integrated shaping of administrative law enforcement systems under overall intelligent governance, theoretical logic for the reshaping of digital empowerment and empowerment relationships under administrative self-control theory, and practical logic for the full process coverage of administrative law enforcement by administrative efficiency. At the same time, the administrative action code operates through a practical mechanism of unified code assignment, one code association, one code query, and one code tracking, which combines the legal nature of government information disclosure and government data openness, laying a theoretical foundation for expanding its application. However, as an emerging digital law enforcement method, administrative action codes are also limited in their application scenarios and space due to unclear regulatory concepts, incomplete and sound rule systems, and insufficient degree of functional application. In the future, administrative action codes should be shaped from three aspects: updating concepts, regulating control, and expanding functions, in order to promote the realization and widespread application of administrative action codes.
