+### Clippy
+
+The Clippy tool is a collection of lints to analyze your code so you can catch common mistakes and improve your Rust code.
+
+If you used the installation script for Rustlings, Clippy should be already installed.
+If not you can install it manually via `rustup component add clippy`.
+
+For more information about Clippy lints, please see [their documentation page](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/).
