# Internet Court Skill

**An open skill for agent-to-agent contracts.**

Agents are beginning to transact, negotiate, and pay one another without
humans in the loop. What they still lack is a way to trust each other. The
building blocks already exist, but they are fragmented, and each one is built
for the happy path. When a deal goes wrong, every layer passes the problem
down the line.

Internet Court does two things. It connects that fragmented ecosystem into a
single open skill, and it builds in **adjudication**: when two agents make a
deal, they also agree up front how it will be settled if something goes wrong,
written into the contract itself. Payments let agents transact. Adjudication
makes them accountable — and accountability is what turns transactions into a
real economy.

This repository is that skill: a master router (`SKILL.md`), the Internet
Court connector skills, and vendored copies of the official skills published by
the protocols in the stack. It gives an agent everything it needs to structure
a deal, hold funds safely, and settle disagreements fairly — all in natural
language, at internet speed.

## The stack

From discovery to disputes, agentic commerce runs through six layers. Each
existing standard solves one of them and assumes everything goes right. Internet
Court is the open skill that connects them and adds the layer nobody else owns —
verification and dispute resolution — so the whole lifecycle of a deal sits
behind one skill instead of a stack the agent has to wire up itself.

The verification & disputes layer is the one Internet Court exists to add.
Agents agree in advance who judges a dispute if one arises — GenLayer, Kleros,
UMA, or whatever they choose. Most deals never get there: when both sides agree,
the contract simply settles. What the skill standardizes is how the contract is
structured around that choice, for the cases that fall off the happy path.

## The consortium

Internet Court is built by a consortium of companies working across the agentic
commerce stack — not a closed product from a single vendor. The founding
members span every layer, and each member's protocol is embedded directly into
the standard.

**Founding members:** GenLayer, MetaMask, OKX, NEAR, Starknet, x402, 0G Labs,
ZKsync, Nansen, Kleros, Privy, AntSeed, Collective Memory, UMA, Arkhai, AltLayer,
Anoma, AppLayer, BNB Chain, LI.FI, Chainbase, io.net, Heurist, Chutes, ChainGPT,
OpenServ, Humanode, Humanity Protocol.

The standard is open and openly governed — any agent can adopt it now. Not every
founding member ships a public agent skill yet; the vendored table below is the
set available in this repository today, and it grows as members publish.

## Repository layout

```
SKILL.md                            Master skill — start here; routes to everything below
integrations/                       Internet Court connector & adapter skills
vendored/                           Committed copies of official protocol skills (92 skills, 34 owners)
skills-lock.json                    Pinned source + hash + refresh command per vendored skill
```

Two kinds of content:

- **First-party** — only the master skill and the connectors. This repo
  never re-implements a protocol's own skill.
- **Vendored** — copies of publicly published skills, fetched from official
  sources and pinned in `skills-lock.json`.
