## Knowledge

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions).

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

Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```text
claude-sonnet/
├── spec.yaml
└── files/
    └── home/
        └── .config/
            └── claude/
                └── sonnet.json
```

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

sandbox:
  command:
    - --dangerously-skip-permissions
    - --settings
    - /home/agent/.config/claude/sonnet.json
```

Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```jsontitleclaude-sonnetfi
{
  "model": "sonnet"
}
```

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

Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```console
$ sbx run claude-sonnet --kit ./claude-sonnet
```

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.

&gt; [!WARNING] &gt; The approval prompt also lists OAuth, but OAuth doesn't work for the extended &gt; agent. If you use Claude Code's /login command, Claude Code stores the real &gt; OAuth tokens inside the sandbox. …
