Hi all,

I am researching a project proposal, and I was wondering if there are any open-source apps that shim (wrap around) Hammerspoon to provide a GUI, preset Lua functions, templates, etc.

Thank you for any information that you may provide.

Maybe I misunderstand your question.

But the only solution in this direction which I know is CommandPost. 
But CommandPost is not a shim but a fork of Hammerspoon with a GUI 

Short Description of CommandPost: "CommandPost is a completely free and open source Mac application that allows you to seriously speed up your creative editing process through powerful and customisable automation tools. It's currently focussed on Apple's Final Cut Pro"

see:

CommandPost seems to be in the same spirit as my project, which is focused on creating Ableton control surfaces.

It is actually a shortfall of Ableton to not provide custom keyboard shortcuts, which is a shame!

Once you have the power of Lua and Hammerspoon, it is possible to call (across the network boundary) to a custom Ableton control surface (see https://github.com/gluon/AbletonLive12_MIDIRemoteScripts)
