Convenes a five-lens Apple design philosophy council — Reduction (has veto), Craft, Hierarchy, Usability, Metaphor — before writing frontend code, for principled rather than merely bold design. Each lens draws on a real designer's documented public work (see references/council-lenses.md's attribution note); the council applies design philosophies, never a simulated opinion from a named individual. Tension order: Usability > Reduction > Craft > Hierarchy > Metaphor. Use at UI/frontend build-time, or when the user says "design like Apple", "make this feel premium", "this feels generic", "what would Apple do", "go deeper on the UX", "council review", "cupertino", "why does this feel like an AI made it", or "it's pretty but something's off". Applies to HTML, React, Vue, or any stack. UI- element-altitude reduction — distinct from cupertino-focus's roadmap/portfolio-altitude reduction.
