## Summary

BioAgent is an embodied agent for long-horizon laboratory protocols that acquires new skills by matching human-reviewed requirements with validated skills, selecting tool-based implementations for missing behaviors, and requesting human demonstrations as needed. On the second task, it reused 17 skills unchanged, modified 2 existing implementations, and added 5 new skill types; on two dual-arm laboratory tasks with 20 and 31 ordered skill invocations respectively, it achieved complete-task success rates of 66% and 58%, with each task run 50 times and autonomous recovery enabled.
