Needed: script to copy vectors onto same coordinates while changing the stroke value, color and layer.

I am an artist, and unfortunately I don't have anywhere near enough coding knowledge to put this together myself. I repeatedly go through a process in my work that looks like this:

  • Copy and paste a vector a dozen or so times
  • change the stroke so each vector is 20px larger than the last one
  • Move each vector to a separate layer, and change the color of each
  • Align all the vectors so they overlap perfectly.

This is what the result looks like: All the vectors on the right, once aligned look like the overlapped vectors on the left.

What I would love to be able to do is just select the top vector, and have a script create new overlapping vectors for each layer below the selected one, and shift the stroke and color values as it goes. I don't really have any idea how hard this would be, so any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
