What kind of powerboost are you using? The 500/c is not capable of powering a pi3, but the 1000/c is. Otherwise the Pi3 is wired up identically to the guide on Helder's AIO support thread
here. You might also want to solder a switch on the EN and GND pins on the powerboost so you can easily turn it on and off too. In Helder's thread he shows a 110mah battery, but for a Pi3 I would recommend at least a 4000mAh battery, just make sure it is a 3.7v capable battery. I used the Adafruit 4400mAh dual 18650 battery array, and I can squeeze 2-2¾ hours out of it on the PSOne emulator.
Not sure what a camble safe shutdown is, but in
this thread it teaches you how to program a safe-shutdown button, but I would advise using pins 39 and 40 instead of pin 18, as you may want to use those pins for something else. Pins 39 and 40 are nice and out of the way. Hope this helps!
