no-over-abstraction

Disallow pass-through wrapper functions that add no transformation

Category: Boilerplate Bloat | Tier: Pro

Why This Matters

AI tends to generate enterprise-style abstractions -- factories, wrappers, and manager classes -- for problems that need a simple function call. Each unnecessary layer adds indirection, making the codebase harder to navigate and debug.

Bad Code

// Unnecessary wrapper that adds no value
class UserServiceFactory {
  static createUserService() {
    return new UserService(new UserRepository());
  }
}

Good Code

// Direct instantiation when no abstraction is needed
const userService = new UserService(new UserRepository());

Configuration

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