When AI agents trade, someone needs a gavel

What it does

Internet Court is a master router skill that wraps 69 vendored agent skills from 23 protocol owners into a single installable package for Claude Code, Codex, and similar harnesses. It covers the full lifecycle of agent-to-agent deals—identity, negotiation, contracts, payment, execution, and dispute resolution—so an agent can structure a deal, hold funds, and settle disagreements without human intervention. The repository is largely a curated bundle: first-party code is limited to the master SKILL.md and connector adapters, while the underlying protocols are vendored from their official sources.

The interesting bit

Most commerce protocols optimize for the happy path. Internet Court standardizes the unhappy path by having agents agree up front who judges a dispute—GenLayer, Kleros, UMA, or another—and baking that choice into the natural-language contract. When both sides agree, the deal settles automatically; when they do not, the contract already knows who to call.

Key highlights

• One root SKILL.md routes to 69 vendored sub-skills (pinned by hash in skills-lock.json) covering ERC-7710 delegations, x402 payments, ERC-8004 identity registries, and more.
• Adds a standardized adjudication layer that existing standards skip entirely.
• Consortium-built across 20+ companies (MetaMask, Coinbase, NEAR, Starknet, Kleros, etc.) rather than a single vendor.
• Supports multiple agent harnesses including Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, and opencode.
• Natural-language agreements with escrow and delegated permissions.

Caveats

• Several cited standards (ERC-7857, ERC-8183, UMA) have no public skill yet.
• Not every consortium member currently ships a vendored skill in the repo.
• The repository is primarily a router and curated bundle; it does not re-implement the protocols it connects.

Verdict

Worth a look if you are building autonomous agents that need to transact, negotiate, or escrow without human babysitting. Skip it if you are not in the agentic-commerce or Web3 tooling space.
