var slingCmd = &cobra.Command{
	Use:     "sling <bead-or-formula> [target]",
	GroupID: GroupWork,
	Short:   "Assign work to an agent (THE unified work dispatch command)",
	Long: `Sling work onto an agent's hook and start working immediately.

This is THE command for assigning work in Gas Town. It handles:
  - Existing agents (mayor, crew, witness, refinery)
  - Auto-spawning polecats when target is a rig
  - Dispatching to dogs (Deacon's helper workers)
  - Formula instantiation and wisp creation
  - No-tmux mode for manual agent operation
  - Auto-convoy creation for dashboard visibility

Auto-Convoy:
  When slinging a single issue (not a formula), sling automatically creates
  a convoy to track the work unless --no-convoy is specified. This ensures
  all work appears in 'gt convoy list', even "swarm of one" assignments.

  gt sling gt-abc gastown              # Creates "Work: <issue-title>" convoy
  gt sling gt-abc gastown --no-convoy  # Skip auto-convoy creation

Target Resolution:
  gt sling gt-abc                       # Self (current agent)
  gt sling gt-abc crew                  # Crew worker in current rig
  gt sling gp-abc greenplace               # Auto-spawn polecat in rig
  gt sling gt-abc greenplace/Toast         # Specific polecat
  gt sling gt-abc mayor                 # Mayor
  gt sling gt-abc deacon/dogs           # Auto-dispatch to idle dog
  gt sling gt-abc deacon/dogs/alpha     # Specific dog

Spawning Options (when target is a rig):
  gt sling gp-abc greenplace --create               # Create polecat if missing
  gt sling gp-abc greenplace --naked                # No-tmux (manual start)
  gt sling gp-abc greenplace --force                # Ignore unread mail
  gt sling gp-abc greenplace --account work         # Use specific Claude account

Natural Language Args:
  gt sling gt-abc --args "patch release"
  gt sling code-review --args "focus on security"

The --args string is stored in the bead and shown via gt prime. Since the
executor is an LLM, it interprets these instructions naturally.

Formula Slinging:
  gt sling mol-release mayor/           # Cook + wisp + attach + nudge
  gt sling towers-of-hanoi --var disks=3

Formula-on-Bead (--on flag):
  gt sling mol-review --on gt-abc       # Apply formula to existing work
  gt sling shiny --on gt-abc crew       # Apply formula, sling to crew

Compare:
  gt hook <bead>      # Just attach (no action)
  gt sling <bead>     # Attach + start now (keep context)
  gt handoff <bead>   # Attach + restart (fresh context)

The propulsion principle: if it's on your hook, YOU RUN IT.

Batch Slinging:
  gt sling gt-abc gt-def gt-ghi gastown   # Sling multiple beads to a rig

  When multiple beads are provided with a rig target, each bead gets its own
  polecat. This parallelizes work dispatch without running gt sling N times.`,
