Workshop practice for the trades — layout, setup, safety, sequencing, and the practical discipline of running a shop. Covers bench organization, jig and fixture thinking, lighting and power, dust and noise, tool maintenance cadence, and the apprenticeship-era wisdom of "a place for everything." Use when setting up a new workshop, diagnosing why an existing shop is losing time, or teaching a learner how a shop works before they touch a tool.

From the source SKILL.md

A workshop is a designed environment for skilled work. Its organization, layout, and habits are not incidental to the craft performed in it — they are the physical substrate on which the craft depends. A good workshop makes good work easier and bad work harder. A bad workshop fights the tradesperson at every step. This skill is about how workshops are organized and why the organization matters.
