Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation provides environment variable setup instructions for Windows (cmd and PowerShell) before macOS/Linux (bash), and includes both Windows command prompt and PowerShell examples. While Linux/macOS commands are present, Windows instructions are consistently listed first and in greater detail, which may suggest a subtle Windows-first bias. There are no missing Linux examples, but the ordering and emphasis favor Windows users.
Recommendations:
  • Alternate the order in which OS-specific instructions are presented, or group them in tabs so no platform is prioritized.
  • Use neutral language such as 'If you use Windows/macOS/Linux...' rather than always listing Windows first.
  • Ensure all command-line examples are equally detailed for all platforms.
  • Consider providing a single cross-platform command (where possible) or a summary table for environment variable setup.
  • Explicitly state that all steps are supported on Windows, Linux, and macOS at the beginning of the relevant sections.
