dx-devops-promote
Use this skill to drive the full DevOps Center promotion workflow for work items and pipeline stages — validate preconditions, prepare work items, optionally combine work items that share metadata, promote one or more work items or an entire stage to a target pipeline stage, and complete the promotion to finalize the deployment. TRIGGER when the user wants to promote a work item, advance changes to the next environment or stage, combine work items for a single promotion, or move metadata through the release pipeline. The mandatory validate step runs automatically at the start. DO NOT TRIGGER for work item creation or status updates (use dx-devops-work-item-manage), for conflict detection, or for polling an existing promotion's status.

# DevOps Center Promotion
Drives the full promotion workflow in DevOps Center — validate, prepare, optionally combine, promote, and complete — moving work items through the release pipeline. Provides headless, `--json`-driven, idempotent operations for autonomous release workflows in CI. Every promotion begins with a mandatory validate step.
## Scope
- **In scope**: Validate promotion preconditions, prepare a work item, combine work items that share metadata into one promotion, promote one or more work items or an entire source stage to a target stage, and complete the promotion
- **Out of scope**: Work item creation/status updates (use `dx-devops-work-item-manage`), conflict detection, polling an existing promotion's status, pipeline or project setup (separate skills)
