## Description{% #description %}

This rule enforces specific naming conventions for class names. Adhering to consistent naming rules helps maintain code readability and ensures that classes are easily identifiable and understandable by other developers.

To comply with this rule, use clear and descriptive class names that follow established conventions, such as starting with an uppercase letter and using CamelCase for multi-word names. For example, `MyClass` is preferred over `myClass` or other variations. Consistently applying these practices will help avoid violations and improve overall code quality.

## Non-Compliant Code Examples{% #non-compliant-code-examples %}
