Your rule is missing an output artifact. There always needs to be a 
chain of file tags leading to your product type. In your case, this 
should do the trick:
     Artifact {
         filePath: "/tmp/helloworld"
         fileTags: ["custom-image"]
     }
And then use output.filePath in the command's source code.
