Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
Summary
The documentation provides both Linux (bash) and Windows (PowerShell) examples for all command-line steps, but consistently lists Windows examples after Linux, indicating a 'windows_first' bias in terms of explicit inclusion and ordering. Additionally, Windows-specific tooling (PowerShell, Invoke-WebRequest, New-Item) is used for Windows examples, but no Linux-specific tools beyond curl and bash are mentioned. There is no evidence of missing Linux examples or exclusive use of Windows tools, but the pattern of always providing Windows examples and using PowerShell commands reflects a mild Windows bias.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that Linux and Windows examples are presented with equal prominence, possibly by randomizing or alternating the order in which they appear.
  • Consider including macOS-specific instructions or notes where relevant, to further improve cross-platform parity.
  • Where possible, use platform-agnostic commands or highlight cross-platform tools (e.g., using Python or Node.js scripts for downloads) to minimize reliance on OS-specific shells.
  • Explicitly state that all examples are available for both platforms at the start of the section, to reassure users of parity.
  • Review for any subtle differences in functionality or prerequisites between platforms and document them clearly.
