  #   command (required): A command that will be run in the depot

  #     resulting in a single executable file, e.g. through
  #     pkgs.writeShellScript.

  #     in the Buildkite UI instead of the attribute name.
  #
  #   prompt (optional): Setting this blocks the step until confirmed
  #     by a human. Should be a string which is displayed for
  #     confirmation. These steps always run after the main build is
  #     done and have no influence on CI status.
  #
  #   postBuild (optional): If set to true, this step will run after
  #     all primary build steps (that is, after status has been reported
  #     back to CI).

  #   needsOutput (optional): If set to true, the parent derivation
  #     will be built in the working directory before running the
  #     command. Output will be available as 'result'.
  #     TODO: Figure out multiple-output derivations.

  #   parentOverride (optional): A function (drv -> drv) to override
  #     the parent's target definition when preparing its output. Only
  #     used in extra steps that use needsOutput.
  #
  #   branches (optional): Git references (branches, tags ... ) on
  #     which this step should be allowed to run. List of strings.
  #
  #   alwaysRun (optional): If set to true, this step will always run,
  #     even if its parent has not been rebuilt.
