This starter pack includes the essential cognitive echos for daily work inside ChatGPT. It’s designed to offer clarity, speed, and synergy in solving frequent tasks, making decisions, planning, and continuous improvement.
You must use the web version of ChatGPT (chat.openai.com) to install this pack.
The mobile app does not support uploading files or configuring project settings.
- Download the
.zipfile containing the Starter Pack of Echos. - Unzip it on your computer. You should get multiple
.yamlfiles (one per echo).
⚠️ All echo files must be in valid.yamlformat, structured according to the Echo Protocol specification.
- Go to your ChatGPT Projects
- Open the project where you want to install the echos.
- Click Files.
- Upload the
.yamlfiles from the starter pack. - Confirm they appear in the list. They’re now ready to be used as part of the project’s reasoning system.

✅ This step is essential. Without the context, the assistant won’t recognize or properly execute the echos.
- Explicitly call the echo using prompts like:
- “Run the planning echo”
- “Activate the evaluation echo to review this”
- The system will respond by executing the echo step-by-step with structured outputs.
- You can use multiple echos in the same conversation if needed (e.g., planning → prioritization → optimization).
| Echo | Use it when... |
|---|---|
| 🧭 Planning | You need to structure a plan of action or roadmap |
| ✅ Coherence | The flow seems off-track, redundant, or inconsistent |
| 🔢 Prioritization | You have multiple options and need to choose one |
| 🧪 Evaluation | You want to assess the quality or effectiveness of something |
| ⚙️ Optimization | You want to improve a process, text, or structure |
| 🔁 Prompt Execution | You have a raw or unclear prompt that needs refinement |
This pack covers core reasoning needs: planning, prioritizing, evaluating, correcting, optimizing, and executing.
Once mastered, we recommend extending it with:
- 🧘 Reflection Echo
- 🧠 Interpretation Echo
- 🧩 Orchestration Echo
