SiriKit and Siri Shortcuts are very different things.
SiriKit allows you to build Siri support into your app a la Android Actions, but Siri Shortcuts is designed to allow drag-and-drop end-user "programming" of workflows that can be triggered by Siri.
"Hey Siri, I'm on my way home" could turn on you thermostat up, order you a pizza, remotely trigger your IoT enabled kettle and start playing your home-commute playlist.
For the more advanced of us, Workflow currently allows doing things like calling arbitrary REST APIs and parsing JSON. I've reverse engineered the API of a local coffee-ordering app so I can one-click order my morning coffee.
Next thing I'm planning is my "I need a coffee" button which will get the nearest cafe, order me a flat white, and pull up the directions.
Siri Shortcuts is same as Google Assistant routines. Only they didn't make an extra app for it. Say" I'm Home" and a lo of Assistant Actions will get triggered.
