Some flexibility around completions about tern

+1! Maatch in the middle like YouCompleteMe, CommandT or CtrlP (vim plugins) are very usefull :)

This is definitely on the radar. Probably eventually there'll be a 'simple' completion service like the one that currently exists, and a 'full' one where you get every possible completion and then some, and the plug-in has to do a bit more work to actually filter them itself.

I have not gotten around to this yet.

The completions service now allows some control over the returned data by adding properties to the query:

• types: Add a field indicating the type of the completed thing
• depths: Add a field indicating the distance (in scope or prototype chain) to the completed thing
• omitObjectPrototype: Explicitly set to false to disable the default heuristic where it assumes you only want to see hasOwnProperty and friends if you have at least two matching letters.
• filter: Explicitly set to false to get all possible completions, not just matching ones.
• guess: Set to false to disable behavior where, if nothing is found, it adds any matching properties it can find.
• sort: Set to false to get the results unsorted.

Is this something I can add to a .tern-project file? I would like a way to hide builtins from my autocompletion like prototype

You'd have to implement it in your editor plugin, or as a tern plugin providing a custom completion query type.
