+	Long: `Create a git worktree in another rig for cross-rig work.
+
+This command is for crew workers who need to work on another rig's codebase
+while maintaining their identity. It creates a worktree in the target rig's
+crew/ directory with a name that identifies your source rig and identity.
+
+The worktree is created at: ~/gt/<target-rig>/crew/<source-rig>-<name>/
+
+For example, if you're gastown/crew/joe and run 'gt worktree beads':
+- Creates worktree at ~/gt/beads/crew/gastown-joe/
+- The worktree checks out main branch
+- Your identity (BD_ACTOR, GT_ROLE) remains gastown/crew/joe
+
+Use --no-cd to just print the path without printing shell commands.
+
+Examples:
+  gt worktree beads         # Create worktree in beads rig
+  gt worktree gastown       # Create worktree in gastown rig (from another rig)
+  gt worktree beads --no-cd # Just print the path`,
