The new rule needs to inherit from AstroidRule.
Once the class is created, you need to make it visible in the __init__.py file.
After that you might want to add it either in AlwaysApplyPhase or via an Optimizer
The new optimizer needs to inherit from Optimizer, it needs to implement method visit_[ClassName] to apply something on this node.
For instance, if you need to count the number of times a method is called, you need to implement the method visit_Call. Such as in RenameOptimizer
To test you can simply use the target check in the Makefile.
It will reproduce every steps in the github workflow to merge a PR.
Thank you for any contribution you might make :).
