Normalize a PRD-derived GitHub backlog into a strict native GitHub graph so Ralph can follow it deterministically. Audits every epic's acceptance criteria against its child tasks to identify coverage gaps — AC items with no task are silent black holes that no agent will ever work on. Creates missing tasks, sharpens vague task AC, and wires everything with native sub-issues and blockedBy links. Use immediately after grill-me, write-a-prd, and prd-to-issues, or whenever a repo has PRD/epic/task issues still held together by prose instead of native links. Reach for this skill when the user wants Ralph to "just follow the graph", asks to clean up backlog hygiene, wants ordering or blockers wired correctly, mentions AC coverage gaps, or says the next task should be mechanically obvious even if they do not mention "hygiene" by name.

To normalize a GitHub backlog into a deterministic graph, you audit epic acceptance criteria coverage, create missing tasks, and wire native sub-issue links with blockedBy edges to enforce a single obvious next task.
AC coverage gaps are acceptance criteria items within an epic that have no corresponding child task, acting as silent black holes where automated agents will never execute work unless missing tasks are created and linked natively.
Wire GitHub blockedBy links and sub-issues by classifying PRD, epic, and task hierarchies, then establishing native blockedBy edges between siblings to ensure deterministic execution ordering and a mechanically obvious next task.
Clean up PRD backlog hygiene when issues are held together by prose instead of native links, or immediately after writing PRDs and generating issues, ensuring Ralph can follow the execution graph end-to-end without ambiguity.
Automated agents skip acceptance criteria when epics have AC coverage gaps lacking child tasks; normalizing the backlog creates missing tasks and wires native sub-issue links so every AC item is actionable.
