+const _desc = r'Avoid declaring variables with var.';
+
+const _details = r'''
+
+**DO** declare a variable using its explicit type if it is reassigned, or final,
+if it is not.
+
+Declaring a variable using its explicit type is slightly more verbose but
+improves readability, adds self-documentation and makes sure that you are not
+dependant on compiler-inferred types. Declaring variables as final is good
+practice because it helps avoiding accidental reassignments and allows the
+compiler to do optimization.
+
+**BAD:**
+```dart
+class Person {
+  var name = 'Bella';
+  var age = 64;
+  var ageAtBirth = 0;
+
+  void celebratesBirthday() => age++;
+  void addsSecondName(String secondName) => name = '$name $secondName';
+}
+```
+
+**GOOD:**
+```dart
+class Person {
+  String name = 'Bella';
+  int age = 64;
+  static const ageAtBirth = 0;
+
+  void celebratesBirthday() => age++;
+  void addsSecondName(String secondName) => name = '$name $secondName';
+}
+```
+
+**BAD:**
+```dart
+double foo() {
+  var x = 20;
+  x += 3;
+  var y = x / 3;
+  return y;
+}
+```
+
+**GOOD:**
+```dart
+double foo() {
+  int x = 20;
+  x += 3;
+  final y = x / 3;
+  return y;
+}
+```
+
+**BAD:**
+```dart
+for (var x in [1, 2, 3]) {
+  print(x);
+}
+```
+
+**GOOD:**
