Two Minute Stop Start Continue
create_stop_start_continueGenerate a slide-deck-quality Stop Start Continue chart: three equal columns, Stop (red, a stop-sign marker), Start (emerald, a play marker) and Continue (sky, a circular-arrow marker), each a softly tinted panel with up to 8 bullets, plus an optional subject ("Sprint 14 retro") and an optional conclusion band for the agreed actions. Set order: "start-stop-continue" when the user puts Start first; rename columns with labels (e.g. { "continue": "Keep doing" }). Choose it for sprint and project retrospectives, team or manager feedback, and reviews of a process, project or habit; use create_swot for a strategic assessment of a company or product, a Harvey ball matrix to score options against criteria, and a mind map for an open-ended brainstorm. All three lists are optional, but fill all three; infer 3–5 bullets each from context rather than asking. Limits: 8 bullets per column of about 3–8 words, column names of 1–3 words, a conclusion of one sentence. Infer missing details rather than asking; the user can adjust the chart in the builder through the Edit link. ALWAYS give the user the image link: inline chat images usually cannot be saved, but the link renders the exact chart on demand and can be pasted into a slide or Markdown.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| stop | No | What to stop doing: habits or practices that waste time or hurt results, e.g. ["Merging without code review", "Status meetings with no agenda"]. 0–8 short phrases of about 3–8 words; long ones wrap to 3 lines. Default []. | |
| order | No | Column order: "stop-start-continue" (default) or "start-stop-continue". Continue is always last. Match the order the user writes. | stop-start-continue |
| start | No | What to start doing: new practices worth trying, e.g. ["Pair on risky stories", "Demo to support every sprint"]. 0–8 short phrases. Default []. | |
| title | No | Heading shown top-left of the chart at 22px bold. Every chart has one title row; an empty string hides it. | Stop, start, continue |
| width | No | Chart width in pixels (640–2400, default 1280, which suits a 16:9 slide). PNG output renders at 2x. Height is computed from the content. | |
| colors | No | Optional colour overrides per column, as hex, e.g. { "stop": "#b91c1c" }. Each colours that column's stripe, marker, bullet dots and tint. Default: red, emerald and sky (or the brand palette). | |
| credit | No | Shows a small "twominutetoolkit.com" credit under the chart, inside the card. Set false to leave it off (for example when the user asks for no branding). | |
| labels | No | Optional column names in place of the standard Stop, Start and Continue, e.g. { "continue": "Keep doing" }. An empty or missing name shows the standard one. Up to 30 characters; 1–3 words read best. | |
| palette | No | Hex colours. With the default palette the columns are red (Stop), emerald (Start) and sky (Continue); pass brand colours and they apply to the columns left to right instead. Default: indigo, sky, emerald, amber, red, gray. | |
| subject | No | Optional subject of the review, e.g. "Sprint 14 retro" or "Q3 onboarding review", shown small and muted in the title row's right corner (or above the columns when the title is long). Omit for none. | |
| continue | No | What to keep doing: what works and should carry on, e.g. ["Daily stand-up at 9:30", "Blameless incident reviews"]. 0–8 short phrases. Always the last column. Default []. | |
| conclusion | No | Optional one-line takeaway or list of agreed actions shown in a muted band under the columns, e.g. "Actions: Sam sets up review rules by Friday; Priya books the support demo". Wraps to 2 lines. Omit for none. |
