+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
+contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our
+project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone,
+regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, sex
+characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience,
+education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance,
+race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
+include:
+
+* Using welcoming and inclusive language
+* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
+* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
+* Focusing on what is best for the community
+* Showing empathy towards other community members
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual
+  attention or advances
+* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
+  address, without explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Our Responsibilities
+
+Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
+behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
+
+Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any
+contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening,
+offensive, or harmful.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
+when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
+representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
+address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
+further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
+
+## Attribution
+
+This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant][homepage],
+version 1.4, available at
+https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct.html

+The ``ansys-aedt-toolkits-template`` package provides a template to create your own toolkit using PyAEDT.
+The toolkit could be used inside AEDT or launched from a python console.
+Toolkit features should be accessible from the user interface or directly from the API.
+
+
+Requirements
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+In addition to the runtime dependencies listed in the installation information, this toolkit
+requires Ansys Electronics Desktop (AEDT) 2022 R2 or later. The AEDT Student Version is also supported.
+
+Documentation and issues
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+In addition to installation and wizard information, the toolkit
+documentation provides `API reference <https://aedt.toolkit.common.docs.pyansys.com/version/dev/Toolkit/index.html>`_ and `Contribute <https://aedt.toolkit.common.docs.pyansys.com/version/dev/Contributing.html>`_ sections.
+
+On the `Issues <https://github.com/ansys/pyaedt-toolkits-common/issues>`_ page, you can
+create issues to submit questions, report bugs, and request new features.
+
+License
+~~~~~~~
+This toolkit is licensed under the MIT license.
+
+This module makes no commercial claim over Ansys whatsoever.
+The use of the interactive control of this toolkit requires a legally licensed
+local copy of AEDT. For more information about AEDT,
+visit the `AEDT page <https://www.ansys.com/products/electronics>`_
+on the Ansys website.
