+  💖 Thanks for opening this pull request! 💖
+
+  Here is a list of things that will help get it across the finish line:
+  - Run `yarn lint` locally to catch formatting errors. This will fix some errors automatically, commit and push any changes.
+  - Run `yarn test` locally to catch errors.  This ensures all components still behave as they should.
+  - Run `yarn start` to run the doc site locally and try a few pages, ensuring everything is in good working order.
+  - Include tests when adding/changing behavior.
+
+  We get a lot of pull requests on this repo, so please be patient and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
