About frida-agent-builder
Frida Agent Builder is a skill for creating reusable Frida agents and multi-script projects, aimed at developers structuring TypeScript agents. It provides a scaffold and conventions for hook modules, logging, and RPC usage.
Key features
- 01Scaffold a TypeScript agent
- 02Separate files by hook family
- 03Export init() for each hook family
- 04Use structured JSON logging for complex values
- 05Add rpc.exports when needed
Use cases
- 01Grow a single hook into a multi-script project
- 02Set up a Frida agent with Java support
- 03Standardize hook and logging organization
Install

Use this skill for reusable Frida agents and multi-script projects.
Project Shape
Prefer a small TypeScript agent when scripts will grow beyond a single hook:
agent/
├── package.json
├── tsconfig.json
├── src/
│ ├── index.ts
│ ├── log.ts
│ └── hooks/
└── dist/
For Frida 17 and Java APIs in bundled agents, include frida-java-bridge when required by the build/runtime style.
Build Rules
- Keep one hook family per file.
- Export an
init()function per hook family and call it fromsrc/index.ts. - Use structured logging with tags and JSON for complex values.
- Add
rpc.exportsonly for host-controlled actions or test probes. - Avoid global broad hooks unless the task explicitly requires discovery.
- Keep generated artifacts out of source control unless the repository convention includes them.
Scaffold Script
Use scripts/scaffold-frida-agent.py to create a minimal TypeScript Frida agent:
python3 /path/to/frida-agent-builder/scripts/scaffold-frida-agent.py ./agent --java
Then install and build:
npm install
npm run build
