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.
