Overall, LGTM.
Maybe adding some documentation somewhere, maybe in the README.md could help, because I have never used Alfred and wouldn't know how to set this up currently.
From what I'm reading in the makefile it would work if this is git cloned in a direct sub directory of one's home folder and then you run make release in there, correct?
@dominikschulz I sadly don't have a MacOs device handy for testing anymore right now...
Any chance you could test it?

I'm not convinced how this is actually clearing a field? Isn't it just adding 51 times a char a to the field?

Well this is a bit special - how do you clear a field only from the command line? What I came up with is just issue a Ctrl+a and issue a backspace.
You can find the full reference of available keystrokes here.

Not sure why we need this?
What's supposed to be in the .gopass_autotype_handlers.json file?

I've added a bit of extra documentation. In the end it allows to include output from external commands in the autotype command. I explicitly use it to type YubiKey TOTP tokens in authentication forms, so I don't have to do it manually. It allows to fill forms completely, without any manual interaction (as long as you can code any part as bash commands)

In general there is an updated documentation for the autotyping, also including the special commands and the additional handlers. Maybe that makes it more clear on how it works.
Add autotyping
"gpa" for general autotyping based on an "autotype" field
"gpf" to type a single field
