with the most recent org-ref, it should be sufficient to put this in your
init file:

(org-ref-define-citation-link "textcite" ?I)
(org-ref-define-citation-link "citeauthorfull" ?F)

this will create a textcite link and create a reftex menu you select with
the key I, and the other link with the key F. these should automatically be
links, and have completion functions. These will get exported as
\textcite{label} and \citeauthorfull{label}. The
org-ref-define-citation-link function adds the link, creates the functions
necessary, and adds the types to the right places.

You do not need to do the manual additions unless you manually define the
link like you did with org-add-link-type.
