Could you build this?
Partial Basic utility scripts can be vibed, but integrating cleanly into macOS Finder's native context menus and sandboxed app architecture requires native macOS Swift/Objective-C development.
What it would actually take: Built with Swift and AppKit utilizing macOS Finder Sync Extension (`FIFinderSync`) to inject custom contextual menu items directly into Finder. The hard parts are dealing with macOS App Sandbox limitations, securing security-scoped file bookmarks for batch processing files outside the sandbox, and bundling native binaries (Ghostscript, ImageMagick, poppler) without triggering notarization/code-signing issues. Requires native Apple ecosystem expertise.
