<p>
  `TooltipProvider` groups multiple tooltips so that after the first tooltip has
  been shown, switching to another skips the open delay. Place it once at your
  app root or layout — not around each individual `Tooltip`.
</p>

```tsx
// Wrap your app or layout once
<TooltipProvider>
  <App />
</TooltipProvider>

// Then use Tooltip anywhere inside
<Tooltip content="Add" asChild>
  <Button shape="square" icon={PlusIcon} />
</Tooltip>
```
