Partial The Finder/Dock rename and icon swap is achievable by editing app bundles, but the live "Full Skin" that persists while the app runs and stays reversible requires low-level macOS work that vibe coding alone won't reliably produce.
What it would actually take: The core is a Swift/AppKit app that rewrites Info.plist and icon resources in a copied app bundle, then re-signs it and maintains backups for reversal. The hard part is keeping the name and icon applied at runtime, which likely needs process-level hooks or injection, and that must survive macOS updates, SIP, Gatekeeper, and notarization. This needs a macOS systems engineer with code-signing and runtime-injection experience.
