Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild 'windows_first' bias: in the 'Prerequisites' section, installation instructions for Node.js reference Windows and WSL before Linux, and in the environment variable setup, Windows command prompt and PowerShell instructions are presented before macOS/Linux equivalents. However, Linux/macOS instructions are present throughout, and no examples or tools are exclusive to Windows.
Recommendations
  • Present environment variable setup instructions for all platforms in parallel (e.g., in a table or side-by-side tabs), or rotate the order so Linux/macOS is sometimes listed first.
  • In the 'Prerequisites' section, provide direct Linux/macOS installation guidance or links alongside Windows, not just after.
  • Ensure that any future troubleshooting or advanced sections do not default to Windows-only tools or patterns.
  • Consider using neutral, cross-platform language and examples where possible (e.g., 'terminal' instead of 'command prompt').
