+
+:::caution
+
+All experimental features are subject to breaking changes and/or removal _at any
+time_. We strongly recommend that you do not use these features in a production
+environment. They are intended for testing and feedback only.
+
+:::
+
+:::warning
+
+This experiment breaks the following functionality:
+
+- environment variable will take precedence over OS environment variables
+
+:::
+
+:::info
+
+To enable this experiment, set the environment variable: `TASK_X_ENV_PRECEDENCE=1`.
+Check out [our guide to enabling experiments ][enabling-experiments] for more
+information.
+
+:::
+
+Before this experiment, the OS variable took precedence over the task environment variable. This experiment changes the precedence to make the task environment variable take precedence over the OS variable.
+
+Consider the following example:
+
+```yml
+version: '3'
+
+tasks:
+  default:
+    env:
+      KEY: 'other'
+    cmds:
+      - echo "$KEY"
+```
+Running `KEY=some task` before this experiment, the output would be `some`, but after this experiment, the output would be `other`.
+
+If you still want to get the OS variable, you can use the template function env like follow : `{{env.OS_VAR}}`.
+
+```yml
+version: '3'
+
+tasks:
+  default:
+    env:
+      KEY: 'other'
+    cmds:
+      - echo "$KEY"
+      - echo {{env "KEY"}}
+```
+Running `KEY=some task`, the output would be `other` and `some`.
