What this site is

The SVA (Server Variance Authority) is a free, open source directory of agent skills and runbooks for SRE, DevOps and cloud work. There are no accounts and no sign-in.

What we collect

Who processes it

The site runs on Vercel, which handles each request (your IP address and browser details) and may keep short-lived logs for security and reliability. The visitor count and the timeline are stored in Upstash Redis. We don’t sell or share any data.

Links to GitHub, X, skills.sh and Ko-fi take you to those sites, which have their own privacy policies.

Your choices

Signing the timeline is optional. To have your entry removed, or one that uses your handle without your say, contact us below and we take it down. If something changes about what we keep, this page changes first.
