	tl;dr: Anthropic published a playbook for founders building AI-native startups, mapping the four startup stages (Idea, MVP, Launch, Scale) to AI-powered workflows using Claude products. It covers problem validation, avoiding technical debt in AI-generated codebases, measuring real product-market fit, and using agentic workflows to replace founder attention, with guidance on when to use Chat, Claude Cowork, or Claude Code at each stage.
	HN Discussion: ↓Playbook is just marketing to sell Anthropic's tools, not genuine startup advice ↓Article trivializes founding a startup as a casual, formulaic process ↓It's not really AI-native; just using AI to build traditional apps ↓Anthropic lacks credibility giving security advice given their own practices ↓Claim that non-technical founders can now easily build software ignores that business skills matter more
