Personally, I've always tended to write my own, among other things because the appropriate traversal differs depending on what you want to do. But the erlang distribution itself includes a few hints:

* erl_id_trans.erl contains a skeleton parse transform
* The syntax_tools application provides some stuff you may like
* I think the abstract forms format is documented somewhere too

Best,
