This is a script I started late last year, and I've recently come back and cleaned it up. It allows you to grab the root joint of a joint chain to rotate and move it relative to the origin. It creates a locator on your joint, bakes the animation onto that, and then allows you to interact with a shape on the origin to play with your joint chain. After deleting, it bakes it all back onto the root joint. Though it's fairly simple, and not entirely original, it has been one of my most-used scripts for exported joint chains (and also mocap cleanup).
It's pretty straightforward; you run the JHH_skeletonMover script to create or delete the skeleton mover. It will intelligently put it on the object selected, then delete it off when you're done. There's also a JHH_skeletonMover_originOffset procedure which will center the joint onto the origin; good for zeroing out your animation. I'll be making a video pretty soon, but feel free to ask if you have questions.
I'll probably rewrite this in Python at some point, just to get some practice in.
