The Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.Features namespace contains types that you can use to access the definition of a Feature in a SharePoint project.

The main type in this namespace is the IFeature interface. An IFeature object represents the definition of a particular Feature in a SharePoint project, including the Feature manifest. To access an IFeature object, first use the ISharePointProject.Features property to get an ISharePointProjectFeature object. Then, use the ISharePointProjectFeature.Model property to get an IFeature object.
