Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
powershell_heavy
missing_linux_example
Summary
The documentation provides only a PowerShell example for consuming exported key-values, with no equivalent example for Bash or other Linux shells. This suggests a bias toward Windows users and environments, as Linux users are not shown how to access pipeline variables in their preferred shell. No explicit mention of Windows-only tools or patterns elsewhere, but the lack of Linux parity in code samples is notable.
Recommendations
  • Add Bash (and/or sh) examples for accessing environment variables, e.g., 'echo "$myBuildSetting"'.
  • Explicitly state that the exported variables are available in all supported agent operating systems and shells.
  • Where PowerShell is mentioned, also mention Bash or other common Linux shells to ensure parity.
  • Review screenshots and UI instructions to ensure they are not Windows-centric (e.g., avoid showing only Windows-style UI if Linux agents are supported).
