+=== Avoid Dynamic Instance Variable Access [[no-dynamic-instance-variable-access]]
+
+Avoid `instance_variable_get` and `instance_variable_set`.
+These methods bypass encapsulation and couple callers to internal implementation details.
+Prefer defining explicit accessor methods instead.
+Framework or library code that needs to work generically with arbitrary objects may be a justified exception.

 === No Monkey Patching [[no-monkey-patching]]
 
 Do not mess around in core classes when writing libraries (do not monkey-patch them).
