I have installed both LaTeXTools and LaTeX-cwl. I would like to add a couple of commands to auto completion, such as \textcite{} and \parencite{}. What is the best way to do this?

The best way is to reference required package via \usepackage{biblatex} in your document.

@deathaxe, thank you for letting me know! I was not aware that autocompletion would be able to get commands from loaded packages. I use \usepackage{biblatex-chicago}, an alternative to usepackage{biblatex} that follows the Chicago Manual of Style. I cannot load both packages, otherwise I get several errors, which makes sense. Unfortunately, \usepackage{biblatex-chicago} does not add the \textcite{} and \parencite{} commands to autocompletion.
On the LaTeXTools manual, it seems I could create a cwl file and put it in my Packages/User/cwl folder, but I am not sure what the syntax would be.

LaTeXTools analyses which packages are imported and tries to load corresponding *.cwl files to provide completions.
A description of that file format can be found in TeXStudio manual.
Ideally, you’d be able to re-use those shipped with TeXStudio. Writing your own should probably be the last option.
