 ### Magic
 
 While Clark, obviously, provides its own commands, there's a set of very project specific commands that we simply can't dictate for you. These are commands like `build`, `lint`, and `test` that you want to run each independently against each package.

 Package commands are executed sequentially in each package directory. They may be overridden with an entry in the package's package.json.
 
+> Note: magic scripts receive the same environment variables as `clark exec` and are executed within each package directory.

 For example, your repository might use [mocha](https://mochajs.org/) to run your integration tests
