Disallow empty or stub function implementations left by AI assistants

Category: Dead Code | Tier: Free

Why This Matters

AI generates function signatures and class methods with empty bodies or stub comments. The code compiles and appears complete at a glance, but at runtime these hollow functions silently do nothing, causing subtle bugs.

Bad Code

// AI generated empty function bodies
function validateInput(data: unknown) {
  // validation logic goes here
}

class AuthService {
  async login(email: string, password: string) {}
}

Good Code

function validateInput(data: unknown) {
  if (!data || typeof data !== 'object') {
    throw new Error('Invalid input: expected an object');
  }
}

Configuration

This rule has no configuration options. It is enabled by default in lintmyai:recommended.
