Some agents combine settings from several files. When the agent supports it, place kit settings in a separate file instead of replacing sandbox-managed agent configuration.
Claude Code's --settings option loads an additional settings file. Extend the built-in claude kit to add the option without reproducing its configuration, and place the additional file outside the path the sandbox manages

```text
claude-sonnet/
├── spec.yaml
└── files/
└── home/
└── .config/
└── claude/

```
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```yamltitleclaude-sonnetsp
schemaVersion: "2"
kind: sandbox
name: claude-sonnet
extends: claude

- --settings
- /home/agent/.config/claude/sonnet.json
```
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):

```
Claude Code merges the additional file with the sandbox-managed user settings. Because the file is under files/home/, it stays inside the sandbox instead of being written into a directly mounted host workspace. Launch the sandbox with the child kit's name

```console

```
Proxy-managed OAuth isn't supported for a third-party kit that extends the built-in claude agent. Store an Anthropic API key on the host before the first launch
Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```console
$ sbx secret set anthropic
```
When you launch the kit for the first time, sbx prompts you to approve its inherited Anthropic credentials. Because this is a third-party schema v2 kit, sbx records your approval as a credential binding. The sandbox receives a sentinel value, and the proxy injects the real API key into requests to the domains declared by the kit.
> [!WARNING] > The approval prompt also lists OAuth, but OAuth doesn't work for the extended > agent. If you use Claude Code's /login command, Claude Code stores the real > OAuth tokens inside the sandbox. …
