+=================
+
+.. dfhack-tool::
+    :summary: Hide new fort tutorial popups.
+    :tags: fort interface
+
+If you've played the game before and don't need to see the tutorial popups that
+show up on every new fort, ``tutorials-be-gone`` can hide them for you. You can
+enable this tool as a system service in the "Services" tab of
+`gui/control-panel` so it takes effect for all new or loaded forts.
+
+Specifically, this tool hides:
+
+- The popup displayed when creating a new world
+- The "Do you want to start a tutorial embark" popup
+- Popups displayed the first time you open the labor, burrows, justice, and
+  other similar screens in a new fort
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+::
+
+    enable tutorials-be-gone
+    tutorials-be-gone
+
+If you haven't enabled the tool, but you run the command while a fort is
+loaded, all future popups for the loaded fort will be hidden.
