Custom Weave tools need context to be useful, while shared files need visible consent.
Designers need to move quickly through asset workflows, and file owners need to understand what a community tool can access.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I installed the tool for one asset pass, then someone asked what it could read from our library.”
Chi Osman · Senior Product Designer
Maintains shared design-system files used by several product squads and evaluates whether community-built Weave tools belong in the workflow.
What is at stake
Designers are leaving custom Weave tool runs when they cannot tell what file context a tool will access. You must weigh workflow speed against explicit control over shared design assets.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- tool flexibility vs. shared-file control
- fast creative flow vs. informed consent
- platform consistency vs. workflow learning
- community adoption vs. durable security boundaries
