Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation page shows a Windows bias primarily in the examples for file paths, which consistently use Windows-style paths (e.g., c:\jsontemplates) without providing Linux/macOS equivalents. In sections describing file output, only Windows paths are shown, and Linux paths are not mentioned or are provided after Windows examples. Additionally, installation and cache location instructions mention Windows first, with Linux and Mac following. There are no explicit PowerShell-only examples, but the lack of Linux/macOS path examples and the order of platform references indicate a subtle Windows-first bias.
Recommendations
  • For every example using a Windows file path (e.g., c:\jsontemplates), provide a corresponding Linux/macOS example (e.g., /home/user/jsontemplates) side-by-side or in tabs.
  • When describing file system locations (such as cache directories), present Linux/macOS and Windows examples with equal prominence, or use tabs for each OS.
  • Avoid listing Windows instructions or examples before Linux/macOS unless there is a technical reason; consider rotating the order or using a neutral format.
  • Add explicit notes or examples for Linux/macOS users where file paths, shell commands, or environment variables differ.
  • Where possible, use platform-agnostic syntax (e.g., $HOME/.bicep or %USERPROFILE%/.bicep) and explain the mapping for each OS.
