+Clang-Tidy Automation
+=====================
+
+:program:`clang-tidy` can analyze multiple source files by specifying them on
+the command line. For larger projects, automation scripts provide additional
+functionality like parallel execution and integration with version control
+systems.
+
+Running Clang-Tidy in Parallel
+-------------------------------
+
+:program:`clang-tidy` can process multiple files sequentially, but for projects
+with many source files, the :program:`run-clang-tidy.py` script provides
+parallel execution to significantly reduce analysis time. This script is
+included with clang-tidy and runs :program:`clang-tidy` over all files in a
+compilation database or a specified path concurrently.
+
+The script requires a compilation database (``compile_commands.json``) which
+can be generated by build systems like CMake (using
+``-DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON``) or by tools like `Bear`_.
+
+The script supports most of the same options as :program:`clang-tidy` itself,
+including ``-checks=``, ``-fix``, ``-header-filter=``, and configuration
+options. Run ``run-clang-tidy.py --help`` for a complete list of available
+options.
+
+Example invocations:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+  # Run clang-tidy on all files in the compilation database in parallel
+  $ run-clang-tidy.py -p=build/
+
+  # Run with specific checks and apply fixes
+  $ run-clang-tidy.py -p=build/ -fix -checks=-*,readability-*
+
+  # Run on specific files/directories with header filtering
+  $ run-clang-tidy.py -p=build/ -header-filter=src/ src/
+
+  # Run with parallel execution (uses all CPU cores by default)
+  $ run-clang-tidy.py -p=build/ -j 4
+
+Running Clang-Tidy on Diff
+---------------------------
+
+The :program:`clang-tidy-diff.py` script allows you to run
+:program:`clang-tidy` on the lines that have been modified in your working
+directory or in a specific diff. Importantly, clang-tidy-diff only reports
