+
+A repost is a `kind 6` note that is used to signal to followers
+that another event is worth reading.
+
+The `content` of a repost event is empty. Optionally, it MAY contain
+the stringified JSON of the reposted note event for quick look up.
+
+The repost event MUST include an `e` tag with the `id` of the note that is
+being reposted. That tag MUST include a relay URL as its third entry
+to indicate where it can be fetched.
+
+The repost SHOULD include a `p` tag with the `pubkey` of the event being
+reposted.
+
+## Quote Reposts
+
+Quote reposts are `kind 1` events with an embedded `e` tag (see [NIP-08](08.md) and [NIP-27](27.md)).
+Because a quote repost includes an `e` tag, it may show up along replies to the reposted note.
