command: docker sandbox run
short: Run an agent in a sandbox
long: |-
    Run an agent in a sandbox. Create the sandbox if it does not exist.

    Pass agent arguments after the "--" separator.
    Additional workspaces can be provided as extra arguments. Append ":ro" to mount them read-only.

    Examples:
      # Create and run a sandbox with claude in current directory
      docker sandbox run claude

      # Create and run a sandbox with claude in current directory (explicit)
      docker sandbox run claude .

      # Create and run with additional workspaces (read-only)
      docker sandbox run claude . /path/to/docs:ro

      # Run an existing sandbox
      docker sandbox run existing-sandbox

      # Run a sandbox with agent arguments
      docker sandbox run claude -- --continue

examples: |-
    ### Create and run Claude in the current directory

    ```console
    $ docker sandbox run claude .
    ```

    ### Run an existing sandbox

    ```console
    $ docker sandbox run my-sandbox
    ```

    ### Create and run with a specific workspace

    ```console
    $ docker sandbox run claude ~/projects/my-app
    ```

    The workspace directory is mounted at the same absolute path inside the sandbox.

    ### Name the sandbox (--name) {#name}

    ```text
    --name NAME
    ```

    Assign a custom name when creating a sandbox:

    ```console
    $ docker sandbox run --name my-project claude .
    ```

    ### Use a custom base image (-t, --template) {#template}

    ```text
    --template IMAGE
    ```

    Specify a custom container image when creating a sandbox:

    ```console
    $ docker sandbox run --template python:3-alpine claude .
    ```

    By default, each agent uses a pre-configured image. The `--template` option
    lets you substitute a different image.

    ### Pass arguments to the agent

    Use `--` to separate sandbox options from agent arguments:

    ```console
    $ docker sandbox run claude . -- -p "What version are you running?"
    ```
