Three .claude/worktrees/* dirs were committed into main as gitlinks (mode 160000) with no .gitmodules. actions/checkout's post-job submodule cleanup then fails on ubuntu with `No url found for submodule path '.claude/worktrees/apple-appkit-pack' in .gitmodules` (exit 128), which red-X'd otherwise-clean PRs (e.g. #46). Untrack all three (the on-disk worktrees stay registered and intact) and gitignore .claude/worktrees/ so an agent's `git add .` can't re-embed them.
markmals/spec-kit is a fork of github/spec-kit, so gh/PR operations default the base to the upstream parent — agents keep rediscovering this when a PR fails with 'No commits between main and <branch>'. New memory topic fork-and-upstream.md captures the fix (-R markmals/spec-kit, or gh repo set-default) plus the speckit<->spec-kit name redirect; indexed in MEMORY.md.

Adds a SpecKit agent-memory topic so the fork relationship stops getting rediscovered every time someone opens a PR.
markmals/spec-kitis a fork ofgithub/spec-kit, sogh pr create(and otherghops) default the base to the upstream parent — PRs fail withNo commits between main and <branch>or silently target GitHub's repo. The fix (-R markmals/spec-kit, orgh repo set-default) and thespeckit↔spec-kitname redirect are now in.claude/memory/fork-and-upstream.md, indexed inMEMORY.md.One file + one index line; no engine or scaffold changes.
