Does macOS have an API for Siri? [duplicate]

Can I program a macOS app with Siri functionality like I can with an iOS app?

As in, for example, play a sound using my music app when telling Siri "play the Aurora sound", or any other thing that SiriKit can do on ios.

The example you posted will not be possible on iOS either, as SiriKit is restricted to only very few uses cases.

The documentation did not mention this at the time of this question's asking, but was updated later to say it supports macOS 10.12+:

SDKs

iOS 10.0+
macOS 10.12+
watchOS 3.2+

Also macOS 10.12 release notes do not mention SiriKit — though intents are supported. Maybe we will see SiriKit with later betas. And if that happens, I hope there will be fewer restrictions on iOS as-well, because with the current restrictions it won't make much sense to have SiriKit on desktop computers.
