chore: ignore agent worktrees so the repo is not permanently dirty - #56
Merged
Conversation
`.claude/worktrees/<name>/` is a full git worktree checked out beside the sources. It is machine-local agent scratch, several MB of it, and because it was untracked rather than ignored this repo showed as **dirty permanently** in `scripts/status.sh`. That matters less for the megabytes than for the signal: a workspace that is always dirty in the same places stops being a signal at all. It also produces phantom grep matches — a search across the workspace hits `.claude/worktrees/*/.github/workflows/*.yml`, which looks exactly like a real consumer. ## Why `.claude/worktrees/` and not `.claude/` Scoped deliberately. `agent-kit` and `personal-stack` both **track** `.claude/` content (Spec Kit commands, agent definitions — 32 and 22 files respectively). A blanket `.claude/` ignore would mean anything added there in future is silently dropped. Only the worktree subtree is machine-local.
