I tested 200+ prompts across Gemini and Kimi — here's what actually works

Most prompt packs are written for GPT-3. Gemini and Kimi respond completely differently - longer reasoning chains, different delimiter behavior, different failure modes. After running these models professionally for months I found: Gemini responds better to explicit output format constraints. Kimi loves multi-step chain-of-thought but breaks on vague persona prompts. Most "expert prompts" from Twitter don't transfer. I packaged the tested prompts that actually hold up - link in the first comment. submitted by /u/Affectionate-View292 [link] [comments.
