 1. Implement the [Workflow](https://github.com/opensearch-project/flow-framework/blob/main/src/main/java/org/opensearch/flowframework/workflow/WorkflowStep.java) interface. See existing steps for examples for input, output, and API execution.
 2. Choose a unique name for the step which is not used by other steps. This will align with the `step_type` field in the templates and should be descriptive of what the step does.
 3. Add a constructor and call it from the [WorkflowStepFactory](https://github.com/opensearch-project/flow-framework/blob/main/src/main/java/org/opensearch/flowframework/workflow/WorkflowStepFactory.java).
-4. Add a configuration to the [`workflow-steps.json`](https://github.com/dbwiddis/flow-framework/blob/main/src/main/resources/mappings/workflow-steps.json) file specifying required inputs, outputs, required plugins, and optionally a different timeout than the default.

 5. If your step provisions a resource that should be deprovisioned, create the corresponding step and add both steps to the [`WorkflowResources`](https://github.com/opensearch-project/flow-framework/blob/main/src/main/java/org/opensearch/flowframework/common/WorkflowResources.java) enum.
 6. Write unit and integration tests.
