+docs(skills): the data skill's Field Groups section teaches a group's `visibleWhen` and `requiresFeature`
+
+Clause-②: no
+Metadata-protocol: none
+
+`skills/objectstack-data/references/examples-objects.md` now names the two ways a whole field group (header included) is hidden: `visibleWhen`, a CEL predicate over the record that hides the group when FALSE or when it faults, and `requiresFeature`, a deployment feature flag from the `PUBLIC_AUTH_FEATURES` set, refused when unknown, lowered at parse into the group's `visibleWhen` and stripped, AND-combined after an authored `visibleWhen`; both are presentation only. The real example is `sys_organization`'s Group Structure section, hidden on a single-organization deployment with `requiresFeature: 'multiOrgEnabled'`. The text is paid for by deleting restatements in the same file (the intro sentence, the migrations paragraph, the deprecated-flag aside, the strictness sentence under Metadata Protection, a dangling "see above" and a path comment), so the file's token ceiling moves down, not up.

 ## Field Groups (MVP)
 
-Organize fields into logical groups (e.g., "Contact Information", "Billing",
-"System") for forms, detail pages, and editors.
-
 - Declare groups on `ObjectSchema.fieldGroups` — **array order is the display order**.
 - Assign each field to a group via `Field.group`, which references an
   `ObjectFieldGroup.key`. In-group display order equals the traversal order
   of `fields`.
-- Group keys must be `snake_case`; group labels are human-readable.
+- Group keys must be `snake_case`.
 - Optional per-group: `icon`, `description`, and `collapse`
   (`'none'` always open · `'expanded'` collapsible, starts open ·
-  `'collapsed'` collapsible, starts closed — replaces the deprecated
-  `defaultExpanded` flag, ADR-0085). Groups render identically on forms,
-  modals, and detail pages; for a bespoke single-page layout assign a
-  custom Page instead.
+  `'collapsed'` collapsible, starts closed). Groups render identically on forms,
+  modals, and detail pages.
+- Hide a whole group, header included, with `visibleWhen` (CEL over
+  `record.*`; FALSE or a fault hides it) or `requiresFeature` (a deployment
+  feature flag from `PUBLIC_AUTH_FEATURES` in `@objectstack/spec/kernel`; an
+  unknown flag is refused). At parse `requiresFeature` is lowered into the
+  group's `visibleWhen` and stripped, AND-combined after an authored
+  `visibleWhen`. Presentation only: the fields stay readable through the API.
+  `sys_organization` hides Parent Organization and Sort Order on one
+  organization:
+  `{ key: 'group_structure', label: 'Group Structure', requiresFeature: 'multiOrgEnabled' }`.
