+The `run` key accepts an array of items (i.e., list).
+An entry in the `run` key is a map of built-in key-value pairs that configure the run, which includes the directory (`dir`) and command string (`command`).
+Each `run` entry is invoked sequentially in the order specified in the array.
+If there's only a single entry, the array can be replaced by a map for a single entry.

+If the `local` key is specified with the value `true`, the command must be located relative to where the command is run.
+This key can be set implicitly by prepending the command with `./`.
