feat(project-bootstrap): v1.2.0 — auto-load using-projects-meta in bootstrapped projects

CLAUDE.md template gains a fifth trigger line, `check across all projects`
(verbatim phrase from `using-projects-meta` description). Every new or
upgraded project now auto-loads cross-project task aggregation and shared
projects-wiki access without an explicit verbal trigger.

No Step 5.7 mirror of Step 5.6 (superpowers plugin recommendation):
`using-projects-meta` Prerequisites already self-corrects to
`setup-projects-meta` when MCP tools are missing.

Synced: assets/CLAUDE.md.template, inline copy in SKILL.md (Step 5),
README.md + README.ru.md trigger lists, this repo's local CLAUDE.md,
dist/project-bootstrap.skill, .wiki/concepts/projects-meta-skills.md
(Bootstrap trigger section), .wiki/log.md.

+# bootstrap-projects-meta-trigger
+
+## Goal
+Add `check across all projects` to the CLAUDE.md template that `project-bootstrap` writes to every project, so the `using-projects-meta` skill auto-loads in every bootstrapped repo (current set already had four triggers — `talk like a caveman`, `use superpowers`, `use project wiki`, `use task management system`, plus `we're on Windows`). Bumps `project-bootstrap` 1.1.0 → 1.2.0 (additive default-artifact change).
+
+## Key files
+- `skills/project-bootstrap/assets/CLAUDE.md.template` — the file actually copied into bootstrapped projects
+- `skills/project-bootstrap/SKILL.md` — inline copy of the same template (must stay in sync) + version frontmatter
+- `README.md` / `README.ru.md` — the "Using skills in projects" section enumerates the trigger list
+- `CLAUDE.md` (this repo) — local instance must also gain the line so the trigger fires here too
+- `dist/project-bootstrap.skill` — packaged artifact, rebuilt from the source tree
+
+## Decisions log
+- 2026-04-30: trigger phrase = `check across all projects` — buffer-direct quote from `using-projects-meta` description, matches existing imperative style of other lines (`use X`, `talk like X`).
+- 2026-04-30: not adding a Step 5.7 mirror of Step 5.6 (recommend `setup-projects-meta`) — out of scope for this task. Trigger fires `using-projects-meta` whose Prerequisites already point at `setup-projects-meta` if MCP tools are missing. Open question for follow-up.
+
+## Open questions
+- [ ] Should `project-bootstrap` also detect missing `mcp__projects-meta__*` tools and recommend `setup-projects-meta` (analogous to Step 5.6 for superpowers)? Defer until we see a fresh-machine bootstrap miss the dependency.
+
+## Completed steps
+- [x] task entry created
+- [x] `skills/project-bootstrap/assets/CLAUDE.md.template` — added `check across all projects` between `use task management system` and `we're on Windows`
+- [x] `skills/project-bootstrap/SKILL.md` — inline template at Step 5 synced; explanatory paragraph added; `version: 1.1.0 → 1.2.0`
+- [x] `README.md` + `README.ru.md` — trigger list in "Using skills in projects" / "Использование в проектах" updated
+- [x] `CLAUDE.md` (this repo) — local instance gained the new line so the trigger fires here
+- [x] `bash scripts/install.sh project-bootstrap` — reinstalled to `~/.claude/skills/project-bootstrap/`
+- [x] `bash scripts/build.sh project-bootstrap` — `dist/project-bootstrap.skill` rebuilt
+- [x] verified: installed `version: 1.2.0`, template content matches
+- [x] `.wiki/concepts/projects-meta-skills.md` — appended "Bootstrap trigger (project-bootstrap@1.2.0)" section explaining choice of phrase + non-decision on Step 5.7
+- [x] `.wiki/log.md` — `decision` entry added

 ## Round-trip note
 
 The task `[projects-meta-skills]` was created on a different machine (`OpeItcLoc03@DESKTOP-NSEF0UK`) via `mcp__projects-meta__tasks_create target_project=claude-skills`. Closing it on this machine via `mcp__projects-meta__tasks_close target_project=claude-skills slug=projects-meta-skills` round-trips back to the same Gitea board — both sides see the 🟢 done state.

+## Bootstrap trigger (project-bootstrap@1.2.0)
+
+The CLAUDE.md template that `project-bootstrap` writes to every new (or upgraded) project gained a fifth trigger line:
+
+```
+check across all projects
+```
+
+This loads `using-projects-meta` automatically in every bootstrapped repo so cross-project task aggregation and the shared `projects-wiki` are reachable without an explicit verbal trigger.
+
+The phrase is a verbatim quote from `using-projects-meta`'s `description:` triggers — guaranteed match against the harness's keyword index, no fuzzy matching required.
+
+The trigger is a **no-op** when `mcp__projects-meta__*` tools aren't registered in the session. On a fresh machine, `setup-projects-meta` provides the install path; `using-projects-meta`'s Prerequisites already redirects there. We deliberately did **not** add a Step 5.7 mirror of Step 5.6 (the `superpowers` plugin recommendation) for `projects-meta` — the wiring is already self-correcting via the Prerequisites pointer, and bootstrap shouldn't grow a recommendation block per skill. If fresh-machine bootstraps start silently failing the dependency check, revisit.
