Rigging Helpers
Note: This collection contains tools at various levels of stability and annotation, created between 2014-2018 without the goal of public distribution. I think you'll get a lot of use from them, but there is always the possibility that some of them may not work in all versions of Maya, or for every situation. They will likely have compatibility issues with Maya 2022+.

25+ Tools to Speed Up Your
Rigging Workflows!
Connect Attributes:
Simple UI to quickly connect attributes together, either individually or in batch. Think of it as a re-imagined connection editor.
Driver Multiplier:
An alternative to Set Driven Key. Drive attributes in real-time by a multiplier of another attribute. Creates separate multipliers for positive and negative values.
Pose Reader:
Creates a quad-directional pose reader for rotational-based corrective shapes.
Extract Blend Deltas:
Quickly extracts the delta between a posed shape and a sculpted corrective shape. * Does not take skin clusters into consideration.
Connect Combos:
Tells a corrective shape attribute to activate as the result of two other shape attributes multiplied by each other.
Duplicate Shape:
Replace the shape node of a control with the shape node of another control.
Hierarchy Helpers:
Quickly create controls, locators and groups above selected joints/objects while maintaining existing hierarchies.
Parent Cluster Inverse Matrices:
Fancy way of saying "trick clusters to follow in local space."
Quick Follicle Creation:
Create a single follicle based on a nearby object's location.
And many more...
