+  - Once you've written the title, please delete this checklist item; do not include it in the PR.
+
+- [ ] **PR message**: ***Delete this entire checklist*** and replace with
+  - **Description:** a description of the change. Include a [closing keyword](https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/using-issues/linking-a-pull-request-to-an-issue#linking-a-pull-request-to-an-issue-using-a-keyword) if applicable.
+  - **Issue:** the issue # it fixes, if applicable
+  - **Dependencies:** any dependencies required for this change
+  - **Twitter handle:** if your PR gets announced, and you'd like a mention, we'll gladly shout you out!
+
+- [ ] **Add tests and docs**: If you're adding a new integration, you must include:
+  1. A test for the integration, preferably unit tests that do not rely on network access,
+  2. An example notebook showing its use. It lives in `docs/docs/integrations` directory.
+
+- [ ] **Lint and test**: Run `make format`, `make lint` and `make test` from the root of the package(s) you've modified. We will not consider a PR unless these three are passing in CI. See [contribution guidelines](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) for more.
+
+Additional guidelines:
+
+- Make sure optional dependencies are imported within a function.
+- Please do not add dependencies to `pyproject.toml` files (even optional ones) unless they are **required** for unit tests.
+- Most PRs should not touch more than one package.
+- Changes should be backwards compatible.
