The Ultimate .NET Workflow for Cursor, Antigravity, and AI-First Editors

Isaac Levin

With the rapid rise in agent-first development, many developers are adopting AI-first editors like Cursor, Google Antigravity IDE, Devin Desktop, and Kiro into their workflows. The appeal is obvious: deep, contextual AI assistance integrated directly into the coding surface. But if you write C# and .NET for a living, you have probably hit a massive wall trying to make these next-generation editors your daily driver.

The wall isn’t the AI – it’s the lack of great C# tooling in your editor of choice. Until now, .NET developers using AI-first editors had to use those editors without a first-party debugger or a full-featured C# extension from a trusted vendor. You either had to abandon AI-first editors entirely, or you had to adopt a clunky “two-window” approach: using Cursor to generate and edit code, while keeping a separate IDE open on a second monitor just to run unit tests, navigate complex solutions, or attach a debugger. You deserve a complete solution, and we are here to help!

The most complete .NET tooling in alternative editors

With the 2026.2 release, the ReSharper extension completely ends the two-window compromise. ReSharper is fully compatible across these ecosystems, with rich tooling and experiences you come to expect as a .NET developer. To learn more about the value that the ReSharper extension brings to .NET developers, read our previous blog post.

Because we’ve just added our battle-tested .NET debugger to the extension, ReSharper is now officially the most complete .NET option available in Cursor, Google Antigravity IDE, Devin Desktop, and Kiro.

How to install

By installing a single extension, you bring the full suite of JetBrains code intelligence directly into your AI-assisted workspace:

• AI generation + deep code analysis: AI models are incredible at generating boilerplate, but they can introduce subtle bugs. Pair your editor’s generative AI with ReSharper’s precise static analysis to instantly check AI-generated code for architectural flaws, performance bottlenecks, and style consistency before you even run it.
• A unified lifecycle: Write, review, seamlessly refactor, navigate, and debug your application and run unit tests from a single editor window, without ever breaking your focus state.

Installing the extension also auto-starts a free 30-day trial with no manual configuration required.

# Open your editor's command pallette (Ctrl+P / Cmd+P) and run:

ext install JetBrains.resharper-code

If you’re downloading for Cursor, Google Antigravity IDE, Devin Desktop, or Kiro, the extension is natively hosted on the Open VSX Registry. For users of Visual Studio Code, it is available on the standard Visual Studio Code Marketplace.

Shaping the future together

This release marks a major milestone, but it is just the beginning. We’ve brought the core functionality to the Visual Studio Code and compatible editor ecosystems, and we are now looking to the community to help us prioritize what to build next. To provide feedback for the extension, go ahead and submit your feedback through your editor like so:

Share your thoughts!

We’d love to hear your feedback on how you’re getting on with ReSharper for Visual Studio Code. What do you like, what’s working for you, and what you’d like to see next. You can let us know in the issue tracker.

And if you’re enjoying the ReSharper extension, don’t forget to leave us a review on the marketplace. Your feedback helps other members of the .NET community make informed decisions and ensures that we continue to improve based on user needs.
