+# `clangd_check`
+
+`clangd_check` is a tool to run clangd on a codebase and check for diagnostics.
+
+The practical use of this tool is intentionally limited; it's designed to
+provide a quick way to verify that `clangd` is able to parse and analyze a
+C++ codebase.
+
+## Usage
+
+```sh
+dart ./tools/clangd_check/bin/main.dart
+```
+
+On success, and with no diagnostics, `clangd_check` will exit with status 0.
+
+By default, `clangd_check` will try to infer the path of `clangd`, as well as
+the path to `--compile-commands-dir` based on what artifacts are present in
+`$ENGINE/src/out`.
+
+You can also specify the path to `clangd` and `--compile-commands-dir` manually:
+
+```sh
+dart ./tools/clangd_check/bin/main.dart \
+  --clangd ../buildtools/mac-arm64/clang/bin/clangd \
+  --compile-commands-dir ../out/host_Debug_unopt_arm64
+```
