Can you elaborate on what type of edits you want to automate?

I have a couple of shell scripts I use but they are interactive - they prompt for values to put in certain fields.

I mostly use calibredb set_metadata or calibredb set_custom.

If you want to call your script from the calibre window though that implies writing a plugin I think. Unless Keyboard Maestro or Alfred can do screen scraping as well as provide hot keys. Because you would need a way to "read" the values associated with the current book and act upon it.
