For slope: write a method, that check normal direction of mesh under your character and add an additional force if its not equal to Vector3.up. For stairs: increase character controller slope limit or remake your stair's collide mesh.

This is great, but you can completely ignore the character controller and just add another invisible slope above the stairs that the player would walk on

I tried it, the original question was only going to include stairs, but after I tried to use slopes it didn't work so I included slopes to see what people would say.

I am not using a character controller

If your not using character collider (you aren't) then raycast down below the play to check if they are on ground, when you are not on ground implement your own gravity with addforce function (turn off gravity on the ridged body) when you do make contact with the ground then don't applied that gravity. Finally tweak your raycast distance (the further the steaper angle stairs/slopes you can walk on also as the previous answer stated have the slope above the stairs), drag (I find 3 to be a good starting point), friction (I like none) and bounce (around 0.05 it helps with jumping up blocks, cause at 0 you get stuck on corners) finally don't ask me how you can have drag when there is 0 friction. Hope this helps.
