1. Here is a checklist and some tips.
2. Here are a checklist and some tips.
(Which one is right?)
Maybe you could solve any problem by rewriting: "Here is a checklist with some tips." Then the verb is clearly singular.

P.S. Another thought: "Some tips and a checklist are both here." "Here are both a checklist and some tips."

Both sentences are grammatically correct, but there is a slight difference in meaning.
1. "Here is a checklist and some tips." - This sentence suggests that the speaker is providing a single checklist and some accompanying tips. The emphasis is on these specific items.
2. "Here are a checklist and some tips." - This sentence suggests that the speaker is providing multiple checklists and some accompanying tips. The emphasis is on the fact that there are multiple items.
To determine which one is right in a specific context, consider whether you are referring to a singular checklist or multiple checklists.
