gh issue edit 5 --add-assignee @me --remove-label 'needs-triage'

Self-assign an issue and clear its triage label

Combines --add-assignee @me with --remove-label needs-triage in one call, claiming the issue and signaling it is being worked. @me expands to your login. This two-step triage dance happens constantly, so batching it saves a round trip.
