Add color-filters extension

[RemarkRemedy]

Description

Control macOS Color Filters directly from Raycast. This extension allows users to quickly toggle color filters on/off and switch between all 5 macOS filter types without opening System Settings.

Features:

• Toggle Color Filters on/off with a single command
• Switch between filter types: Grayscale, Protanopia, Deuteranopia, Tritanopia, Color Tint
• Visual filter selector showing current active filter with descriptions
• Fast performance: keeps System Settings in background for ~200ms execution (vs ~1400ms with cold starts)
• Clean UX: automatically hides System Settings window after actions

Use Cases:

• Reduce eye strain - Enable grayscale in the evening
• Focus mode - Grayscale helps reduce visual distractions
• Accessibility - Quickly switch filters for color vision deficiencies
• Screen time management - Make your screen less appealing

Technical Implementation:

• Uses AppleScript UI automation via System Settings
• Optimized to keep System Settings running in background between calls for fast performance
• Requires Accessibility permissions for Raycast (user prompted on first use)
• Tested on: macOS Sequoia 15.2 (Build 26.2)

Important Notes:

• ⚠️ UI element paths are specific to macOS Sequoia 15.2 System Settings layout
• If Apple changes System Settings UI in future macOS versions, the extension may require updates
• Comprehensive maintenance instructions included in MAINTENANCE.md for future updates
• Source code includes inline comments with recovery instructions for future AI tools/maintainers

Commands:

• Toggle Color Filters
• Select Color Filter (interactive list view)
• Set Grayscale Filter
• Set Protanopia Filter
• Set Deuteranopia Filter
• Set Tritanopia Filter
• Set Color Tint Filter
• Disable Color Filters

Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

Adds a new Color Filters extension that enables users to control macOS Color Filters directly from Raycast using AppleScript UI automation. The extension provides 8 commands for toggling and switching between 5 filter types (Grayscale, Protanopia, Deuteranopia, Tritanopia, Color Tint).

Key Changes:

• Core implementation uses AppleScript to automate System Settings, keeping it in background for fast performance
• Interactive list view (select-color-filter) shows current active filter with descriptions
• Well-structured codebase with proper error handling and user feedback

Issues Found:

• CHANGELOG.md uses hardcoded date instead of {PR_MERGE_DATE} placeholder (required for automated release process)
• Missing required metadata/ folder with Raycast-styled screenshots for the view-type command
• Hardcoded personal file paths (/Users/tj/...) in README.md and source code comments that won't exist for other users
• The intensity preference in package.json is defined but never used in the code

Confidence Score: 3/5

• This PR requires fixes before merge - missing required metadata screenshots and has incorrect changelog format
• Score reflects blocking issues: missing metadata folder (required for view commands) and incorrect changelog placeholder. Hardcoded personal paths need cleanup but don't affect functionality.
• Pay close attention to CHANGELOG.md (changelog format), README.md and src/color-filters.ts (personal paths), and ensure metadata/ folder is added

Important Files Changed

extensions/color-filters/package.json	Added package.json with proper Raycast extension configuration, all commands, and preferences
