Based on the linked sources. The author's reported result and independent confirmation are separate checks.
- AI involvement
- Reported models: Claude, ChatGPT, DeepSeek. Tools: ritobin, wadtools, Python 3.10+. The writeup below describes the work attributed to AI.
- Reported result
- Works. This is the directory's source-based outcome classification.
- Independent confirmation
- Not reported.
- Human work and limitations
- The tool relies on external binaries (ritobin, wadtools) and CommunityDragon hash dictionaries. The AI integration is strictly for curation and troubleshooting of skin-specific conflicts, not for core engine development.

What was done
Vanilla True Builder (VTB) is a desktop tool that generates custom .fantome mods for League of Legends by reverting assets to canonical base definitions. It uses reverse-engineering toolchains to ensure client stability and provides an AI-assisted auditor for skin fixes.
Vanilla True Builder (VTB) is an automated mod generator designed for LTK Manager. The tool compiles restoration mods by patching game archives to revert champion skins, structures, minions, and map accents to their canonical base states. VTB avoids third-party assets, instead using in-place binary patching and synthesized micro-textures to maintain DirectX stability. The author reports that over 95% of champion skins revert automatically. For edge cases involving animation or submesh conflicts, the tool includes a built-in Auditor. This feature allows users to generate a report, which can be processed by reasoning AI models such as Claude, ChatGPT, or DeepSeek to identify necessary fixes. The AI-generated templates are then applied via the Auditor to resolve specific model issues. The project is maintained as an open-source Python application, with the latest release documented as v1.8.3.
Reproduce it
Download the latest release from the official repository, launch VanillaTrueBuilder.exe, select desired modules, and click 'BUILD PACKAGE (.FANTOME)'. Install the resulting file into LTK Manager.
