Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias in the local development setup instructions. Windows PowerShell is mentioned first, and Windows-specific commands (such as 'py -m venv .venv' and '.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1') are listed before their Linux equivalents. The phrase 'Open a Windows PowerShell or any Linux shell as you prefer' places Windows first, and the example output uses Windows-style paths (e.g., '<ProjectRoot>\HttpTriggerAsync\__init__.py'). However, Linux alternatives are provided for all steps, and the rest of the documentation is platform-neutral.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions side-by-side or in separate tabs, rather than listing Windows first.
  • Use platform-neutral language, e.g., 'Open a terminal (PowerShell, Command Prompt, or Linux shell)'.
  • Show both Windows and Linux path formats in example outputs, or clarify that the output may differ by platform.
  • Consider starting with Linux commands in at least one example to balance representation.
  • Explicitly state that all steps apply equally to macOS, and provide macOS-specific commands if they differ.
