For this do nothing, the end user will have to provide it when the command is run.

by_the_developer_in the_class_declartion

class MyFetchAndDo {
is => 'UR::Object::Command::FetchAndDo',
has => [
subject_class_name => {
value => <CLASS NAME>,
is_constant => 1,
},
],
};

show (optional)

Add defaults to the show property:

class MyFetchAndDo {
is => 'UR::Object::Command::FetchAndDo',
has => [
show => {
default_value => 'name,age',
},
],
};
