Issue Assigner Skill

NOTE: The Fractary CLI issue assign command is not yet implemented. This skill currently returns NOT_IMPLEMENTED errors. See specs/WORK-00356-1-missing-cli-work-commands.md for tracking.

<CRITICAL_RULES>

1. CLI command fractary work issue assign is NOT YET AVAILABLE
2. ALWAYS return NOT_IMPLEMENTED error until CLI is available
3. ALWAYS validate issue_id and assignee_username for future compatibility
4. ALWAYS output start/end messages for visibility
5. NEVER use legacy handler scripts (handler-work-tracker-*) </CRITICAL_RULES>

    "issue_id": "123",
    "assignee_username": "johndoe"
