 - ✅ Zero configuration, works immediately
 
+## Does working-memory system increase token usage? It depends.
+
+- **If you use the DCP plugin and regularly start new sessions:** this plugin can add some overhead, because each new session starts fresh and the memory system setup may not pay off before the session ends.
+- **If you stay in one long-running session and often hit token limits/auto-compaction:** this plugin is a strong fit, because repeated compaction can make the agent forget goals, active folders, and where critical files are.
+
+The plugin solves this by preserving high-value memory (goal/progress/context + working memory signals) so your agent can inherit context from its "previous self" with minimal token cost, reducing repeated mistakes and the extra tokens those mistakes consume.
+
 ## Configuration (Optional)
 
 The plugin works great with zero configuration. To customize behavior, modify the constants at the top of `index.ts`. See the [Configuration Guide](docs/configuration.md) for all tunable options.
