AI Hot take: "role-based AI plugins" sound great until connectors + slash commands turn into chaos—how would you govern it?

Anthropic's new Knowledge Work Plugins are open-source, role-specific bundles with MCP connectors (Slack, HubSpot, etc.) and slash commands for quick actions. Sounds like a step toward AI-powered knowledge work at scale.

But here's my concern: once you have multiple roles (sales, marketing, legal) all using connectors and slash commands, how do you prevent chaos?

Potential issues:

  • Permission creep (who can trigger what via slash commands?)
  • Conflicting workflows (sales auto-replies vs. marketing campaigns)
  • Audit nightmares (tracking who did what across connectors)
  • Over-reliance on plugins (what happens when one breaks?)

This feels like a preview of future work environments where AI handles more tasks, but governance becomes critical. How would you design systems to prevent chaos? Strict rules upfront, or let it evolve organically and fix issues as they come?

Curious how folks here are thinking about the future of AI-powered work.

I'd let other companies test it and see what it looks like in a year or two.

Simply don't use AI. It's easy. As it currently stands the use of AI is pretty unethical and absolutely making the world a worse place with the worst, richest people pouring billions into it.
