If you want to play around with writing more 'interesting' completions, check out Fig (https://github.com/withfig/autocomplete).

You can write completions declaratively and use TypeScript to generate dynamic suggestions.

Disclosure: I'm one of the founders.

Looks neat.

I've though about using tree-sitter DSL to generate zsh completion.

Your project seems to be a better candidate for this. Tree-sitter DSL, with some extra annotations, could be used to generate the specification. With the added bonus of being a format that can provide syntax highlight on text editors (in commands in sh files).

If I not mistaken, tree-sitter also uses TS.

I only gave a quick look at fig (only use HN on mobile). Will have a better look when at the desktop.
