maven-assembly-plugin run multiple times, configure to run only once

Question

Small question regarding maven-assembly-plugin please.

I am currently configuring as follow:

    <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.3.0</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>build</id>
                        <configuration>
                            <archive>
                                <manifest>
                                    <mainClass>my.Main</mainClass>
                                </manifest>
                            </archive>
                            <descriptorRefs>
                                <descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
                            </descriptorRefs>
                            <finalName>${project.artifactId}-mymain</finalName>
                            <outputDirectory>./</outputDirectory>
                        </configuration>
                        <phase>package</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>single</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

This has nothing special, copied from the official website on how to configure.

Now, we use a CI tool, the CI tool, which we do not control, will run the following steps (we cannot change it)

compile:
maven  -DskipTests clean package

test
maven verify

stage
maven -skipTests deploy

It will run the three steps separately, again, nothing I can do about it.

Now, the thing it, it seems with the current maven-assembly-plugin as configured above, the uber jar is built once each stage, resulting in a total of 3 jars being built.

How to configure the plugin, to avoid being built and rebuilt, hoping to be built only in one specific phase please?

Thank you

As mentioned by @khmarbaise, this <phase>install</phase> works. All the credit to him, thank you
