Work out the notice period and last working day for an employment contract in Germany, for resignation or dismissal: the statutory periods by length of service, probation, contract and collective-agreement terms, the written-form rule, and the deadlines that follow. Use when asked wie lange ist meine Kündigungsfrist, when is my last day if I resign today, my employer gave me notice, how do I resign in Germany, or Kündigung schreiben. Produces the applicable notice period with the rule it rests on, the earliest end date, a compliant resignation letter in German, and a checklist of deadlines for the employment agency and for challenging a dismissal. Not legal advice.
“Ich arbeite seit sechs Jahren hier. Wie lange ist meine Kündigungsfrist?”“If I hand in my notice on 10 March, when is my last day?”“My employer dismissed me yesterday. What are my deadlines?”“Write my resignation letter in German.”“Run this skill in your browser: https://mohitagw15856.github.io/pm-claude-skills/skill/de-kuendigungsfrist-check.html”

✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓The rule behind the period is named
✓The end date respects the fifteenth or month-end rule
✓The letter includes "hilfsweise zum nächstmöglichen Termin" and needs a wet signature
✓The three-week claim window appears for any dismissal
✓Employment agency registration and the suspension risk are covered
✓Special protection categories are flagged
⚠️ What it refuses to do
**Do not let the user resign by email or messaging app.**
**Do not apply the employer's long periods to an employee's resignation** unless the contract does.
**Do not ignore the collective agreement.**
**Do not advise signing a termination agreement** without flagging the benefit suspension risk.
**Do not count the notice period from the date on the letter.** It runs from receipt.
