+
+[![Build](https://github.com/microsoft/rnx-kit/actions/workflows/build.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/microsoft/rnx-kit/actions/workflows/build.yml)
+[![npm version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@rnx-kit/polyfills)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@rnx-kit/polyfills)
+
+🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧
+
+### THIS TOOL IS EXPERIMENTAL — USE WITH CAUTION
+
+🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧
+
+This is a polyfills "autolinker" for Metro. It works like native module
+autolinking, but gathers polyfills from dependencies instead.
+
+> **Note**
+>
+> This package is temporary. Ideally, this should be upstreamed to
+> `@react-native-community/cli`.
+
+## Motivation
+
+This package is part of
+[React Native WebAPIs](https://github.com/microsoft/rnx-kit/pull/2504).
+
+## Installation
+
+```sh
+yarn add @rnx-kit/polyfills --dev
+```
+
+or if you're using npm
+
+```sh
+npm add --save-dev @rnx-kit/polyfills
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```diff
+ const { makeMetroConfig } = require("@rnx-kit/metro-config");
+ const { getPolyfills } = require("@rnx-kit/polyfills");
+ module.exports = makeMetroConfig({
++  serializer: {
++    getPolyfills,
++  },
+ });
+```
