## Comprehensive Analysis Mode

For full operations audit, invoke skills in parallel:

### Layer 1: Quality Assessment (Parallel)

| Skill | Output | Purpose |
|-------|--------|---------|
| `qa-testing-strategy` | Test coverage | What's tested? |
| `qa-docs-coverage` | Doc coverage | What's documented? |
| `qa-refactoring` | Code quality | Tech debt assessment |

### Layer 2: Operational Readiness

| Skill | Output | Purpose |
|-------|--------|---------|
| `qa-resilience` | Error handling | Failure modes |
| `qa-observability` | Monitoring | Visibility gaps |
| `ops-devops-platform` | Infrastructure | Deployment gaps |

### Layer 3: Process

## Cross-Router Handoffs

### To router-engineering

When user needs implementation:
- "Build the fix" → Route to `software-backend` or `software-frontend`
- "Implement retry logic" → Route to `software-backend`
- "Add UI for monitoring" → Route to `software-frontend`

### To router-startup

When user shifts to business:
- "Is this ready to launch?" → Route to `startup-go-to-market`
- "How to price monitoring service?" → Route to `startup-business-models`

### From router-engineering

When router-engineering detects ops needs:
- "How do I test this?" → Route here
- "Deploy to production" → Route here
- "Setup CI/CD" → Route here
