-## Pruning Strategies
+## How Pruning Works
 
-DCP implements two complementary strategies:
+DCP uses two complementary techniques:
 
-**Deduplication** — Fast, zero-cost pruning that identifies repeated tool calls (e.g., reading the same file multiple times) and keeps only the most recent output. Runs instantly with no LLM calls.
+**Automatic Deduplication** — Silently identifies repeated tool calls (e.g., reading the same file multiple times) and keeps only the most recent output. Runs on every request with zero LLM cost.
 
-**AI Analysis** — Uses a language model to semantically analyze conversation context and identify tool outputs that are no longer relevant to the current task. More thorough but incurs LLM cost.
+**AI Analysis** — Uses a language model to semantically analyze conversation context and identify tool outputs that are no longer relevant to the current task. More thorough but incurs LLM cost. Configurable via `strategies`.
