Could you build this?

Partial A basic hex viewer/editor with templates is vibe-codeable, but RAM editing requires Windows process-memory APIs and robust file/disk parsing needs low-level systems knowledge the assistant can't fully supply.

What it would actually take: Build a native Windows app (C#/WPF or C++/Win32) with a virtualized hex grid over memory-mapped files. Process memory access uses ReadProcessMemory/WriteProcessMemory with OpenProcess and privilege handling. The template system needs a small binary-structure DSL and parser, like 010 Editor templates. Expertise needed is Windows internals and binary format knowledge.
