 ### Redirection

+### Output
+
+`output` field can be used to write standard output to a environment variable. Leading and trailing space will be trimmed automatically.
+
+```yaml
+name: example
+steps:
+  - name: step 1
+    command: "echo foo"
+    output: FOO # will contain "foo"
+```
+
 ### State Handlers
 
 It is often desirable to take action when a specific event happens, for example, when a workflow fails. To achieve this, you can use `handlerOn` fields.
