+# Browser Toolchain Scripts
+
+This directory contains scripts for generating browser toolchains (compilers,
+linkers, standard libraries, etc.) used by the Brave build.
+
+## Design rules
+
+Scripts here are designed to be launched with a single `curl` one-liner,
+so they must be **self-contained in a single source file** with **no
+dependencies outside the Python standard library** (or the platform's
+default tooling such as `git`). Do not split logic across helper modules or
+add third-party imports.
+
+Example invocation pattern:
+
+```sh
+curl -sL \
+    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brave/brave-core/refs/heads/master/tools/cr/toolchain/<script>.py \
+    | python3 - [args...]
+```
+
+## Scripts
+
+### `build_rust_toolchain.py`
+
+Builds and packages a minimal Rust toolchain subset for Chromium: the
+`rust-lld` linker and the `wasm32-unknown-unknown` stage-1 standard-library
+sysroot. The output is a `.tar.xz` archive ready for upload to GCS.
+
+```sh
+curl -sL \
+    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brave/brave-core/refs/heads/master/tools/cr/toolchain/build_rust_toolchain.py \
+    | python3 - \
+        --out-dir=./out/ \
+        --chromium-src=~/dev/chromium/src/
+```
+
+Pass `--help` for the full list of options.
