+## Running clang-tidy via Bazel
+
+Note: This feature is still in development; see https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-80396 for details)
+
+To run clang-tidy via Bazel, do the following:
+
+1. (Only necessary once, unless you change the `.clang-tidy.in`) Generate `.clang-tidy` by running `python3 buildscripts/clang_tidy.py`.
+2. To analyze all code, run `bazel build --config=clang-tidy src/...`
+3. To analyze a single target (e.g.: `fsync_locked`), run the following command (note that `_with_debug` suffix on the target): `bazel build --config=clang-tidy src/mongo/db/commands:fsync_locked_with_debug`
+
+Remaining work to do:
+
+- TODO(SERVER-80396): Make it SCons-invokable
+- TODO(SERVER-80396): Link in Mongo's custom clang-tidy rules
+- TODO(SERVER-80396): Make it run in CI
+- TODO(SERVER-80396): Address the concern about [aspect / feature interaction](https://github.com/10gen/mongo/pull/21221#pullrequestreview-2009832686).
+  Testing notes:
+- If you want to test whether clang-tidy is in fact finding bugs, you can inject the following code into a `cpp` file to generate a `bugprone-incorrect-roundings` warning:
+
+```
+const double f = 1.0;
+const int foo = (int)(f + 0.5);
+```
