Feature-slice affordance by slice-descriptors in dialogue

When talking 'about' a feature, a coder that knows how the feature is implemented has a concept of where said feature is implemented in the architecture of the code-solution (a software app or method in development).

• A 'slice-descriptor' is a definition of the feature as it exists as a slice of the whole solution.

• A software solution has 'places' in one or more project-files that are code supporting some certain feature. All the features are written 'into sections' of the code files, as code-compiler-conventions require.

• The places of architectural prerequisites are well known by LLMs in this first quarter-century of computing now embedded into LLMs.

• This situates an LLM to acquire dialogue detail to feature-slice, to create a feature-tree.

• The feature-tree is the handoff to agentic code crafters.
