Occupation context

These O*NET tasks describe the occupation. They provide context for this SOC mapping, but do not mean every listed Skill performs every task.

Read work orders or blueprints to determine specified tolerances and sequences of operations for machine setup.
Position and move metal wires or workpieces through a series of dies that compress and shape stock to form die impressions.
Measure and inspect machined parts to ensure conformance to product specifications.

O*NET task statements are shown in their source language (English). Task data excerpted from the O*NET® 29.1 Database (USDOL/ETA) and used under CC BY 4.0.

Representative sources

A bounded sample of popular skills mapped to this occupation, with at most one Skill from each GitHub repository. The complete mapped list follows.

forging-machine-operator

wonsukchoi/domain-experts

Use when a task needs the judgment of a Forging Machine Setter, Operator, or Tender — verifying actual billet temperature at the point of forging rather than trusting furnace setpoint, diagnosing whether a localized underfill traces to press energy versus bulk temperature, evaluating whether a finish-machining plan preserves grain flow at a critical surface, or catching die wear drift through part measurement rather than visual die inspection.

Kasuletrevor/forge

Operate Forge correctly through its CLI and daemon model. Use when an agent needs to create, inspect, update, schedule, or delete Forge projects, tasks, events, or focus state; link projects to local workdirs; use cwd-based project context; run `forge doctor` or `forge update`; or explain how Forge behaves as a local-first work operating system.
