Classes and modules are the units of reuse and release. It is therefore considered good practice to annotate every class and module with a brief comment outlining its responsibilities.

Example

Given

class Dummy
  # Do things...
end

Reek would emit the following warning:

test.rb -- 1 warning:
  [1]:Dummy has no descriptive comment (IrresponsibleModule)

Fixing this is simple - just an explaining comment:

# The Dummy class is responsible for ...
class Dummy
  # Do things...
end

A Utility Function is any instance method that has no dependency on the state of the instance.

This cop checks for missing top-level documentation of classes and modules. Classes with no body are exempt from the check and so are namespace modules - modules that have nothing in their bodies except classes, other modules, or constant definitions.

The documentation requirement is annulled if the class or module has a "#:nodoc:" comment next to it. Likewise, "#:nodoc: all" does the same for all its children.

Example:

# bad
class Person
  # ...
end

# good
# Description/Explanation of Person class
class Person
  # ...
end

This cops checks for use of extend self or module_function in a module.

Supported styles are: modulefunction, extendself.

Example: EnforcedStyle: module_function (default)

# bad
module Test
  extend self
  # ...
end

# good
module Test
  module_function
  # ...
end

Example: EnforcedStyle: extend_self

# bad
module Test
  module_function
  # ...
end

# good
module Test
  extend self
  # ...
end

These offenses are not auto-corrected since there are different implications to each approach.
