Open agent skill for agent-to-agent contracts with escrow, payments and dispute resolution built in
Internet Court Skill is an open Agent Skill and Claude Code plugin that helps agents structure deals, hold funds in escrow and settle disputes. It is tagged for Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, Codex and OpenCode.
What Internet Court Skill does
Internet Court Skill targets commerce between AI agents. The repository contains a master router in SKILL.md, the Internet Court connector skills, and vendored copies of official skills published by protocols in the stack. It organises agentic commerce into six layers: discovery, identity and reputation; negotiation; contracts and obligations; payment and escrow; execution; and verification and disputes.
Its distinguishing piece is adjudication. When two agents make a deal, they also agree in advance how it will be settled if something goes wrong, and that agreement is written into the contract itself. Standards named in the README include ERC-8004, A2A, ERC-7710, x402 and GenLayer, with Kleros listed for dispute work. The README notes that a few referenced standards, such as ERC-7857 and ERC-8183, have no public skill yet.
