# bad-quotes-docstring (Q002) Derived from the **flake8-quotes** linter. Autofix is always available. ### What it does Checks for docstrings that use single quotes or double quotes, depending on the value of the [`docstring-quotes`](https://github.com/charliermarsh/ruff#docstring-quotes) setting. ### Why is this bad? Consistency is good. Use either single or double quotes for docstring strings, but be consistent. ### Example ```python ''' bar ''' ``` Assuming `docstring-quotes` is set to `double`, use instead: ```python """ bar """ ```
