About workshop-create

This skill sets up a workshop, which is the root directory where desks live. It has two paths. Path A uses an existing local directory the operator points at, and adds only the missing workshop files without running git init or creating a GitHub repo. Path B creates a new private GitHub repo in the operator's signed-in account, checks that the clone parent is not already inside a git repo, then scaffolds and pushes the structure.

The scaffold includes desks and bench folders, a CAIRN.md file with the operating disposition for desks, and a README.md workshop map. The skill is meant for operators who want a shared place to organize work. After creation it tells the operator where the workshop lives and that they can open desks with desk-open.
