+### ForbiddenInheritanceRule
+
+Forbids the use of class inheritance in Twig Components. Composition via traits should be used instead.
+This promotes better code reusability and avoids tight coupling between components.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Another alternative is to use [Class Variant Authority](https://symfony.com/bundles/ux-twig-component/current/index.html#component-with-complex-variants-cva) to create variations of a base component without inheritance or traits,
+> for example `<twig:Alert variant="success"></twig:Alert>` instead of `<twig:AlertSuccess></twig:AlertSuccess>`.
