I don't use Better BibTeX, but retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/citing suggests something like auth.lower + '_' + shorttitle(3,0) + '_' + year might do it. — moewe, Aug 6 at 7:35
It works, thanks shorttitle(3,3).lower.condense(_) + '_' + auth.lower.condense(_) + '_' + year — gvd, Aug 6 at 8:00

The citation key generator is customisable as documented in https://retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/citing/.

Literal stuff like _ can be added in quotation marks, so you might want to try

shorttitle(3,0) + '_' + auth.lower + '_' + year
