+# ember/template-no-class-bindings
+
+<!-- end auto-generated rule header -->
+
+Disallows usage of class attribute bindings.
+
+## Rule Details
+
+This rule discourages the use of class attribute bindings with colon syntax. Use the `{{class}}` helper or individual classes instead for better readability and maintainability.
+
+## Examples
+
+Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:
+
+```gjs
+<template>
+  <div class={{isActive:active:inactive}}></div>
+</template>
+```
+
+```gjs
+<template>
+  <div class={{foo:bar}}></div>
+</template>
+```
+
+Examples of **correct** code for this rule:
+
+```gjs
+<template>
+  <div class={{if this.isActive "active" "inactive"}}></div>
+</template>
+```
+
+```gjs
+<template>
+  <div class={{this.myClass}}></div>
+</template>
+```
