Update

Now you can create custom intents and use them with Siri Shortcuts. Here is a simplified tutorial by Ray Wenderlich

Outdated Answer

You can't create a custom intent for now. Maybe in later versions, they can add support for custom intents. Maybe they don't. With their current approach, Apple holds all the control over, intent(operation) types, data, privacy, etc. I'm not sure they will change that.

If you really need custom voice commands, you can implement it inside your application(not out of the app like Siri). There are alternatives like

Apple's AVSpeechSynthesizer

Apple's Speech

IBM's Watson

Nuance Speech Kit
