Closes #2467

What changed

  • pr-flow step 1: assign the issue to yourself before moving its card to In Progress, using gh issue edit <N> --add-assignee @me. @me resolves to whoever gh is authenticated as, so an agent assigns the maintainer it is working for.
  • AGENTS.md, "When work begins": the rule now lists assigning yourself too, so the rule and the recipe agree.

Without this, an agent told "create a PR for #N" moved an unassigned issue to In Progress, leaving a card in progress with nobody on it.

Verification

  • npm run local:gate: EXIT=0.
  • verify:skills: OK. The description is unchanged, so the listing share is still 3,775/4,000 and no trigger eval is needed.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Step 1 moved the card to In Progress but never assigned the issue, so a card
could sit in progress with nobody on it. gh's @me resolves to the
authenticated user, so an agent assigns the maintainer it works for. The
AGENTS.md 'When work begins' rule says the same.

Copilot round 1: clean. Review loop closed.

No inline comments, no finding in the headline ("aligned, focused, and have no unresolved issues"), and no Suppressed comments block. Under pr-flow 7c a clean round is the stopping point, so no further round is requested.
