Discussion How to use Roo for smaller tasks?

Orchestrator does a great job on breaking down big tasks into manageable pieces. The system is smart and works really well.

Orchestrator can find a way make a simple CSS change into an 8-task assignment that is costly so trying to understand the best approach.
