Partial The UI and preference logic are vibe-codeable, but the macOS icon replacement, default-app switching through LaunchServices, and a background keeper that reapplies changes all require deep OS internals and code-signing knowledge.
What it would actually take: Build a Swift/AppKit menu-bar app with a privileged or LaunchAgent helper that writes icon resources into app bundles and re-signs them, plus a journal for undo. Default-app changes need LaunchServices and the private Launch Services plist APIs. The hard parts are keeping this working across macOS releases and handling SIP and notarization. That calls for experience with macOS internals and signing.
