 A `Step` is not reusable, the work it performs is reusable and referenceable. `Steps` are in-lined in the `Task` definition and either perform work directly or perform a `StepAction`. A `StepAction` cannot be run stand-alone (unlike a `TaskRun` or a `PipelineRun`). It has to be referenced by a `Step`. Another way to ehink about this is that a `Step` is not composed of `StepActions` (unlike a `Task` being composed of `Steps` and `Sidecars`). Instead, a `Step` is an actionable component, meaning that it has the ability to refer to a `StepAction`. The author of the `StepAction` must be able to compose a `Step` using a `StepAction` and provide all the necessary context (or orchestration) to it.

 ### Declaring Parameters
 
-Like with `Tasks`, a `StepAction` must declare all the parameters that it used. The same rules for `Parameter` [name](./tasks.md/#parameter-name), [type](./tasks.md/#parameter-type) (including [object](./tasks.md/#object-type), [array](./tasks.md/#array-type) and [string](./tasks.md/#string-type)) apply as when declaring them in `Tasks`. A `StepAction` can also provide [default value](./tasks.md/#default-value) to a `Parameter`.

 A `StepAction` may require [params](#(declaring-parameters)). In this case, a `Task` needs to ensure that the `StepAction` has access to all the required `params`.

 **Note:** If a `Step` declares `params` for an `inlined Step`, it will also lead to a validation error. This is because an `inlined Step` gets it's `params` from the `TaskRun`.

+### Specifying Remote StepActions
+
+A `ref` field may specify a `StepAction` in a remote location such as git.
+Support for specific types of remote will depend on the `Resolvers` your
+cluster's operator has installed. For more information including a tutorial, please check [resolution docs](resolution.md). The below example demonstrates referencing a `StepAction` in git:
