By no means in this a small task, so by not even posting any beginning code, you are essentially asking someone to dedicate hours upon hours of their time to make a solution for you.
Have you tried looking on the app exchange store to see if anything exists?
As far as I can tell, some of the more troublesome things to code with this would be:
1. Selecting the point & direction you want the slot to cut. What about extents/direction?
2. Do you want the browser node to look pretty, or just use the extrude command?
3. How do you establish what the orientation/rotation of the slot is? Reference geometry? Absolute Angle? Give user the option?
4. How do you establish the types of corners on the slot? Always radii? Square corners? Optional?
5. Making a graphical user interface for the user to accomplish this is not very quick or easy.
6. Capturing the edit event on the slot object so it brings up the same window?
7. .... And so on.
You haven't even clearly defined the scope or the needs of it either, or given any sort of clear definition of a starting point for anyone to help you very much.

So let's start with the basics then.
1) What is the input that will be required from your user BEFORE running the rule?
- Just as the hole command must be used on a point, the slot command would likely need to be used on a sketch feature of some kind. Especially for creating a basic version, this is a good start.
2) What parameters do you want the user to be able to control about the slot that aren't available in the Extrusion command?
3) How much does this actually benefit your workflow and speed things up over the current workflow:
1. Create sketch
2. Create slot in sketch
3. Dimension slot
4. Use extrusion command.

Look i,m looking for a specific thing i wan't to create an event this event enabling me to select a face and create a sketch on this plane and constrain this sketch to two adjacent lines on this sketch the event will loop inside the face until find the outer edges (interaction events Object i had searched on inventor API help and i found no effective clue you can help me or find somebody he could) and then i can constrain the sketch it's not a problem to a form to change setting all what i want a code the will help me to do this function all other things is not a problem >> please for the sake of saving your precious time and also mine help me or find out some body that he could and if creating this event so complicated or not possible please directly tell me
there is a sample of the code that i was trying to use attached below
i had build that and i hope some body give me any clue
