As per https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html:

    “Free software” means that ... the users have the freedom to run,
    copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.

Evidently, the existing completion frameworks fail to meet your
standards and expectations.  I think it's safe to infer that you've run
various frameworks.  I don't know whether you've copied or distributed
them.  Your commentary indicates a certain level of study, at least from
a user's perspective.  IMO, the next steps are clear.
