+logcleaner
+==========
+.. dfhack-tool::
+    :summary: Automatically clear combat, sparring, and hunting reports.
+    :tags: fort auto units
+
+This plugin prevents spam from cluttering your announcement history and filling
+the 3000-item reports buffer. It runs every 100 ticks and clears selected report
+types from both the global reports buffer and per-unit logs.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Basic commands
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``logcleaner``
+    Show the current status of the plugin.
+``logcleaner enable``
+    Enable the plugin (persists per save).
+``logcleaner disable``
+    Disable the plugin.
+
+Configuring filters
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``logcleaner combat``
+    Clear combat reports (also enables the plugin if disabled).
+``logcleaner sparring``
+    Clear sparring reports.
+``logcleaner hunting``
+    Clear hunting reports.
+``logcleaner combat,sparring``
+    Clear multiple report types (comma-separated).
+``logcleaner all``
+    Enable all three filter types.
+``logcleaner none``
+    Disable all filter types.
+
+Examples
+~~~~~~~~
+
+Clear only sparring reports::
+
+    logcleaner sparring
+
+Clear combat and hunting, but not sparring::
+
+    logcleaner combat,hunting
+
+Overlay UI
+----------
+
+Run ``gui/logcleaner`` to open the settings overlay, or access it from the
+control panel under the Gameplay tab.
+
+The overlay provides:
+
+- **Enable toggle**: Turn the plugin on or off (``Shift+E``)
+- **Combat toggle**: Clear combat reports (``Shift+C``)
+- **Sparring toggle**: Clear sparring reports (``Shift+S``)
+- **Hunting toggle**: Clear hunting reports (``Shift+H``)
