Carolyn, between the three of us, Cait would be the person to advise. I'm still trying to work out how I'll do it, since my version of iOS looks different than what's being described in both the Shortcuts book and the podcasts.
If I understand thins right, you're already using a Siri shortcut when you do something like tell Siri to set up a calendar event for you. You're not having to manually open up the app and flick through all the different fields and fill in the fields yourself; instead you're giving siri verbal instructions and the iOS and Siri's AI capabilities are doing the legwork, opening up the app, and filling in the fields by using AI to work out what you're verbally saying. iOS12 and up gives the iPhone user the ability to set up their own shortcuts instead of just having to rely on what Apple gives us. If I'm missing something, someone will fill in the gaps and correct my misstatements.
