+BrowserSkill ships a first-class dsh plugin on npm as
+[`@wxg-prc-cpg/browser-skill-dsh-plugin`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wxg-prc-cpg/browser-skill-dsh-plugin).
+It injects native `browser_*` tools (no shelling out to `bsk`) and a live Web UI

+Add it to a dsh profile, then start that profile:
+
+```sh
+dsh plugin --profile web add @wxg-prc-cpg/browser-skill-dsh-plugin
+dsh --profile web
+```
+
+The plugin carries its own copy of the skill, so `bsk install-skill` is not needed
+for dsh — but the `bsk` CLI and the browser extension are still prerequisites. See
+the [plugin README](packages/dsh-plugin-browserskill/README.md) for the tool list,
