+description: Open pull requests against rapidsai/rmm. Use when creating or editing PRs.
+---
+
+## Rules for pull requests
+- Target `main` unless told otherwise.
+- Always push branches to a user's fork of rapidsai/rmm, not to the upstream repository.
+- PR descriptions should follow `.github/pull_request_template.md`.
+- The PR title appears in the CHANGELOG; keep it concise.
+- Every PR should reference an issue.
+  - Check for an issue first.
+  - If no issue exists, ask the user whether to create one. Suggest relevant context for the issue.
+  - If an issue exists or is created, mention it in the PR description like "Closes #1234."
