👍 Pros

Community-approved (1,428 endorsements) — clearly fills a need.
Lightweight and focused — does one thing and does it well.
Saves you from constantly opening the perk menu to check what a perk does.

👎 Cons

No install instructions provided by the author — you'll need to figure out manual installation or use a mod manager.
Only affects tooltips — if you wanted more detailed perk info or rebalancing, this isn't it.
