## When it triggers

- Triggers when: user wants an overall quality assessment, asks "how healthy is this codebase?", "run all the checks", "I need a health score before the release", or wants to onboard a new team with a quality overview.
- trigger for: server health checks, HTTP health endpoints, Kubernetes liveness/readiness probes, database health, or application uptime.
- trigger when the user specifically requests only one dimension — use the corresponding focused skill instead (brooks-review / brooks-audit / brooks-debt / brooks-test).
- "how healthy is this codebase?"
- "run all the checks"
- "I need a health score before the release"
