This project provides a unified "skill" for agent-to-agent commerce, addressing the critical need for trust and accountability in automated transactions. It integrates fragmented protocols for negotiation, payment, and dispute resolution into a single, open standard, enabling agents to conduct business with confidence. The primary benefit is transforming agent transactions into a robust economy by ensuring accountability beyond the "happy path."

How It Works

Internet Court acts as a master router, connecting and standardizing six layers of agentic commerce: Discovery, Negotiation, Contracts, Payment, Execution, and Verification & Disputes. It integrates existing standards (like ERC-7710, x402) and crucially adds the missing verification and dispute resolution layer. Agents agree upfront on settlement methods and adjudication processes, embedding this into contracts. This approach ensures that even when deals go wrong, there's a pre-defined, fair settlement mechanism, standardizing the entire deal lifecycle behind one accessible skill.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Primary Install: Recommended via Claude Code plugin: /plugin marketplace add internet-court/internet-court-skill. Other methods include npx skills add internet-court/internet-court-skill, cloning the repository for use with Codex, opencode, OpenClaw, or Hermes.
• Prerequisites: Some vendored skills require provider credentials, such as OKX API keys, ChainGPT API key, or Chainbase API key.
• Links: Official website: internetcourt.org.

Highlighted Details

• Integrates six distinct layers of agentic commerce, adding essential verification and dispute resolution capabilities.
• Developed by a consortium of over 20 companies across the agentic commerce stack, including MetaMask, OKX, NEAR, and Kleros.
• Features vendored copies of 69 official protocol skills from 23 different owners, enabling offline use.
• Operates as an open standard with open governance.

Maintenance & Community

The project is governed by the Internet Court Consortium, with founding members representing diverse areas of the agentic commerce ecosystem. While specific community channels like Discord or Slack are not detailed, the consortium structure suggests a collaborative development environment.

Licensing & Compatibility

First-party code (master skill and connectors) is released under the MIT License. Vendored skills retain their original licenses, which vary by provider. This dual licensing approach generally permits commercial use, provided compliance with the individual licenses of vendored components.

Limitations & Caveats

Not all protocols from the founding consortium members have published agent skills integrated into this repository yet. Additionally, the full functionality of certain vendored skills is dependent on obtaining and configuring external API keys or credentials from their respective providers.
