+## Checklist
+
+* [ ] I've checked to ensure there aren't already other open [pull requests](../../../pulls) for the same update/change
+* [ ] I've prefixed the title of my PR according to [the conventional commits specification](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/). If your PR fixes a bug, please prefix the PR with `fix: `. Otherwise, if it introduces a new feature, please prefix it with `feat: `. If it introduces a breaking change, please add an exclamation before the colon, like `feat!: `. If the scope of the PR changes because of a revision to it, please update the PR title, since the title will be used in our CHANGELOG.
+* [ ] At the top of the PR, I've [listed any open issues that this PR will resolve](https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/linking-a-pull-request-to-an-issue#linking-a-pull-request-to-an-issue-using-a-keyword). For example, "resolves #0" if this PR resolves issue #0
+- [ ] I've explained my changes in a manner that will make it possible for both users and maintainers of TRTools to understand them
+* [ ] I've added tests for any new functionality. Or, if this PR fixes a bug, I've added test(s) that replicate it
+* [ ] I've updated the relevant REAMDEs with any new usage information and checked that the newly built documentation is formatted properly
+* [ ] All functions, modules, classes etc. still conform to [numpy docstring standards](https://numpydoc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/format.html)
+* [ ] (if applicable) I've updated the pyproject.toml file with any changes I've made to TRTools's dependencies
+* [ ] In the body of this PR, I've included a short address to the reviewer highlighting one or two items that might deserve their focus
