+# Using `mlir-opt`
+
+`mlir-opt` is the command-line entry point for running passes and lowerings on MLIR code.
+This tutorial will explain how to use `mlir-opt` to run passes, and explain
+some details about MLIR's built-in dialects along the way.

+
+## Overview
+
+We start with a brief summary of context that helps to frame
+the uses of `mlir-opt` detailed in this article.
+For a deeper dive on motivation and design,
+see [the MLIR paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.11054).
+
+Two of the central concepts in MLIR are *dialects* and *lowerings*.
+In traditional compilers, there is typically one "dialect,"
+called an *intermediate representation*, or IR,
+that is the textual or data-structural description of a program
