@@ -2,6 +2,8 @@
 When opening your PR, please make sure to only request a merge to `main` when you have found a bug in the currently released version of TransformerLens. All other PRs should go to `dev` in order to keep the docs in sync with the currently released version.
 
 Please also make sure the branch you are attempting to merge from is not named `main`, or `dev`. Branches with these names from a different remote cause conflicting name issues when we periodically attempt to bring your PR up to date with the current stable TransformerLens source.
+
+If your PR is primarily affecting docs, make sure has the string "docs" in its name. Building docs is disabled by default to avoid CI time, but the job has been configured to run whenever a branch with the word "docs" in it is being merged.
