What it does

Resignation Letter is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write a resignation letter that closes a chapter without burning it — short, warm, legally clean, and silent on everything that doesn't belong in a permanent file. Use when asked write my resignation letter, how do I resign professionally, what do I say when I quit, or review my resignation email. Produces the letter itself, the tell-your-manager-first script, the timing plan, and the list of things that must NOT go in writing.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked write my resignation letter
  • How do I resign professionally
  • What do I say when I quit
  • Review my resignation email

Example prompts

  • “/resignation-letter”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Resignation Letter loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 661 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~113
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Write a resignation letter that closes a chapter without burning it — short, warm, legally clean, and silent on everything that doesn't belong in a permanent file.

Resignation Letter Skill

A resignation letter has exactly one job: create a clean, dated record that you resigned, effective when. It is not the place for grievances, gratitude essays, or explanations — it goes in a permanent file, may be read by lawyers, and will outlive every feeling in it. This skill writes the three-sentence version that professionals use, plus the parts that actually matter and happen around the letter: the conversation before it, the timing, and the discipline about what stays verbal.

What This Skill Produces

  • The letter — 3–5 sentences: resignation, effective date, transition willingness, one line of thanks; nothing else
  • The manager conversation script — the letter is never how your manager finds out; the 5-minute verbal comes first
  • The timing plan — notice period, when to tell whom in what order, and what to have done before the conversation
  • The not-in-writing list — everything the person is tempted to include, with where each item actually belongs

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The basics — role, manager, intended last day, contractual/customary notice period
  • The reason and the temperature — leaving happy, leaving burned, leaving for a rival? The letter stays identical; the conversation script changes
  • What's at stake in the exit — unvested equity dates, bonus payment dates, non-compete concerns, references wanted — timing may need to move for these
  • Any special context — remote manager (video call, not email ambush), toxic situation (shorter script, HR cc'd), or counteroffer expected (see counteroffer-decoder)

Framework: The Clean-Exit Rules

  1. The letter is a record, not a message: every sentence beyond resignation + date + transition + thanks adds risk and zero benefit. Reasons, feedback, frustrations — all deliverable verbally or in the exit interview, never in the file.
  2. Verbal first, always: manager hears it live (or video), letter follows within the hour "to make it official." A manager who learns from the letter — or the grapevine — is a reference lost.
  3. Check the money dates before picking the date: a last day two weeks before a vesting cliff or bonus payment date is a very expensive piece of politeness. Verify vesting, bonus eligibility ("employed on payment date" clauses), and ESPP windows first.
  4. Notice is the contract's number, not the guilt's: give what's contractual/customary; offering extra weeks to a company that walks resignees out same-day is a gift, not an obligation. Know which kind of company it is before the conversation.
  5. Warmth costs nothing and buys references: one genuine thank-you line in the letter, real appreciation in the conversation. Even a bad chapter closes better warm — the industry is smaller than it looks.

Output Format

Resignation Package: [role] → last day [date]

The Letter

[Full text, ready to send — addressed, dated, 3–5 sentences]

The Conversation (before the letter)

[Opening line · the two sentences on why (verbal-only version) · transition offer · what to say if pressed on destination or counteroffered]

Timing Plan

[Money-date check results → chosen date · tell order: manager → manager's plan for team/peers → letter · same-day-walkout contingency: what's backed up and returned before the conversation]

Not In Writing

Tempted to includeWhy notWhere it belongs

Quality Checks

  • Letter is ≤5 sentences with zero reasons, grievances, or feedback
  • Effective date is explicit and money-dates were checked before choosing it
  • The verbal conversation is planned before the letter is sent
  • Personal files/contacts handled before the conversation, employer property ready to return — nothing that violates policy
  • Tone reads warm-neutral even for a burned exit

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not put reasons in the letter — even good ones; they invite rebuttal and live forever
  • Do not resign by letter/email alone when a live conversation is possible
  • Do not vent — the toxic-job letter and the dream-job letter are the same letter
  • Do not promise transition help you won't deliver — "available for questions through [date]" only if true
  • Do not pick the last day before checking vesting and bonus dates — politeness is not worth a cliff

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write my resignation letter."
  • "How do I resign professionally?"
  • "What do I say when I quit?"
  • "Review my resignation email."
