John has a filter that can be applied, there are a few examples in the
config files
john --external=policy
It would have to be modified a bit to suit your needs I think, but it's
pretty close already.

There can also be a rule like
-c >7 %1?x %2?s
Case sensitive hash, greater than 7, reject word unless it contains 1 of
a-zA-Z0-9, reject work if unless it contains 2 special characters
(including ()%>"' ) I have no idea about the identical characters or if you
should add exclusions for those 6 characters listed. Also don't know how to
use a rule to look for repeated characters next to each other, this
wordlist would be sooooo small.

The trouble is, most wordlists need to be mangled to fit such a policy
rather than rejected if the words don't fit the policy. You probably need
to work on a filter for incremental mode that will more quickly get the
passwords generated rather than filtering out wordlist's that will most
likely not have a significant about of words that fit the policy.
