LowFile-scopeKotlin Plug & play

Extract validation logic to separate methods

Centralize validation in dedicated functions/objects and reuse; return typed errors.

Why this matters

Avoids duplication and inconsistent rules.

Side-by-side examples engineers can pattern-match during review.

Avoid

if (name.isBlank()) error("bad") // repeated

Prefer

object Validators { fun name(n: String) = require(n.isNotBlank()) { "name required" } }

Bad

inline ifs in multiple places

Good

Validators.name(name)

From the same buckets as this rule.

Critical
Avoid Duplicating String Literals
Store repeated string literals in constants or variables to improve maintainability and reduce redundancy.

Critical
Avoid Redundant `None` Comparisons
Identify cases where `x is None` or `x is not None` is used redundantly when `x` is always or never `None`. This may indicate a deeper logic issue.

High
Avoid Functions That Always Return the Same Value
Identify functions that return the same value regardless of input. This may indicate poor design or a logic error.
