    ]
  }
}
```

## Template Variables

All templates support these variables:

- `${workspaceFolder}` - Current project directory
- `~` - User home directory
- `*` - Wildcard for domains (use carefully)

## Combining Templates

You can merge multiple templates for polyglot projects:

```json
{
  "sandbox": {
    "enabled": true,
    "allowedDirectories": [
      "${workspaceFolder}",
      "~/.npm",
      "~/.local/lib/python3.11",
      "/tmp"
    ],
    "allowedDomains": [
      "registry.npmjs.org",
      "pypi.org",
      "*.npmjs.org",
      "*.pypi.org"
    ]
  }
}
```

## Testing Your Configuration

After applying a template:

1. Enable sandbox: `/sandbox`
2. Test file access: `ls ${workspaceFolder}`
3. Test package install: `npm install` or `pip install`
4. Monitor permission requests in Claude Code output
5. Refine based on actual needs

## Security Checklist

Before using any template:

- [ ] Verify all `allowedDirectories` are necessary
- [ ] Confirm `deniedDirectories` includes sensitive paths
- [ ] Review each domain in `allowedDomains`
- [ ] Remove wildcards where possible
- [ ] Test with minimal permissions first
- [ ] Document why each permission is needed
