Warn TODOs without comment

When does this rule warn? Please describe and show example code:

// Good
// TODO: I'd like to find a way to make this faster
doSomething();

// Bad
// TODO
doSomething();

Is this rule preventing an error or is it stylistic?

stylistic

Why is this rule a candidate for inclusion instead of creating a custom rule?

It is specified in official code conventions:

Comments may be used to annotate pieces of code with additional information. TODO - indicates that the code is not yet complete. Information about the next steps should be included.

http://eslint.org/docs/developer-guide/code-conventions#comment-annotations

Also implemented by rubocop (linter for ruby). https://github.com/bbatsov/rubocop/blob/49598a035cd39a75ec91466a4e1a79c7e4f0f5f9/spec/rubocop/cop/style/comment_annotation_spec.rb

Are you willing to create the rule yourself?

yes…!

@ypresto I’m sorry, there’s not enough support on the team for this. If you still want the rule, you can always create a custom rule instead.

I think maybe it should be a separate rule after all. Yes, I know I advocated the opposite earlier but I’ve come around.
