Migrating from Antigravity to VS Code
Hey everyone,
I'm a non-coder who dares building a feature-heavy project. I’ve been using Google Antigravity IDE (Pro tier), but tokens burn way too fast during micro-iterations and UI polishing.
My Plan is to use a local IDE + OpenRouter/Local LLMs for small tweaks and micro-iterations, and use Antigravity only for heavy engineering.
I tried switching to VS Code + Continue with OpenRouter, tried to migrate all Skills, MCPs and AGENT.md, but the development flow feels much less automated.
The Problems i faced is no automatic testing: Antigravity automatically runs tests (TDD) on every code change and loops tasks. In VS Code, nothing triggers automatically; I have to explicitly tell the agent to use tools. Also the agent ignores requirement to trigger graphify MCP even though I pasted the exact same rule from Antigravity as system prompt.
I am working in same directory as Antigravity with installed MCPs (Supabase, GitHub, Graphify) and skills placed in .agents\skills (ttd, ui-ux-pro-max, frontend-design, seo, prompt-engineer)
What am i missing? Should i explicitly install the skills somehow instead of placing them in .agents\skills? Is VS Code + Continue the wrong choice? Is there a better agentic automation developing tool?
Appreciate any migration tips or config tweaks!
