+# require rules to implement a meta.schema property (require-meta-schema)
+
+Defining a schema for each rule allows eslint to validate that configuration options are passed correctly. Even when there are no options for a rule, a schema should still be defined (as an empty array) so that eslint can validate that no data is passed to the rule.
+
+## Rule Details
+
+This rule requires ESLint rules to have a valid `meta.schema` property.
+
+Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:
+
+```js
+/* eslint eslint-plugin/require-meta-schema: error */
+module.exports = {
+    meta: {},
+    create: function(context) { /* ... */}
+};
+
+module.exports = {
+    meta: { schema: null },
+    create: function(context) { /* ... */}
+};
+```
+
+Examples of **correct** code for this rule:
+
+```js
+/* eslint eslint-plugin/require-meta-type: error */
+module.exports = {
+    meta: { schema: [] }, // ensures no options are passed to the rule
+    create: function(context) { /* ... */}
+};
+
+module.exports = {
+    meta: {
+        schema: [
+            {
+                type: 'object',
+                properties: {
+                    exceptRange: {
+                        type: 'boolean'
+                    }
+                },
+                additionalProperties: false
+            }
+        ]
+    },
+    create: function(context) { /* ... */}
+};
+```
