So, do you want the requirement for using "COMMAND" documented or eliminated?

The intent of the add step is to actually have a COMMAND. You're using it simply as an "ALWAYS" injection mechanism to make "build" an effectively ALWAYS step.

Please use the COMMAND for a custom step. You can always make it a no-op command if there's really no command associated with the "step"...
