Re-organize recall knowledge/workflow topics into their best shape — unify topic filenames, frontmatter, and titles, merge overlapping topics, compact stale content, extract shared general principles into their own topics, and rewrite the index coherently. Use whenever the user says "re-org the recall topics", "clean up recall", "make the recall coherent", "extract a general topic", "tidy the knowledge index", or when recall files have drifted (mismatched names, duplicated content, oversized files, a stale index). Keeps recall well-managed as a whole rather than fixing one file at a time.
