AI Station Navigator – LLM=CPU, Agents=Processes, Skills=Apps

The CPU/kernel/process analogy is more than marketing — the project actually spawns short‑lived Sub‑Agents to limit context pollution and pairs that with a GitHub 'App Store' for one‑click skill installs. It's a practical, Windows‑centric proof‑of‑concept with sandboxing and security scans, but it isn't a clear leap beyond existing agent frameworks (LangChain/AutoGPT) and the repo looks early-stage with a small community.
