Realizing programmable topological states in quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) insulators requires the ability to design and dynamically tune their topological invariant, the Chern number C. Here, we report a designer QAH platform based on twisted rhombohedral graphene family, in which C becomes a programmable and electrically tunable degree of freedom. By engineering the layer configuration in twisted monolayer-rhombohedral N-layer graphene, denoted as (1+N)L, we realize QAH states with C=N at moire filling v=1, where the layer number N=3,4,5 directly sets the Chern number. Beyond such static layer programming, we demonstrate in-situ electrical control. In a twisted monolayer-trilayer device, the sign of C (chirality) can be switched by electrostatic doping or displacement field. Most strikingly, in twisted Bernal bilayer-rhombohedral tetralayer graphene denoted as (2+4)L, we drive a displacement-field-induced topological phase transition between two distinct QAH states with C=3 and C=4 in a single device. Our work establishes a layer-engineered and electrically tunable platform that transitions topological quantum matter from discovery to design, opening the way toward on-demand engineering of correlated topological states and reconfigurable topological electronics.
