No The name and the 'xnu userland' website text point to low-level Apple kernel/userland exploitation or jailbreak tooling, which requires specialized systems-security expertise and reverse engineering that vibe coding cannot supply.
What it would actually take: A real version would need deep knowledge of XNU internals, Mach IPC, entitlements, and iOS/macOS security mitigations, plus working test devices and iterative debugging on real hardware. The work is reverse engineering and exploit research, not app assembly, so it requires experienced security researchers.
