Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

Summary
The documentation mentions PowerShell's New-GUID cmdlet as a way to generate GUIDs before referencing generic development tools or online generators. No Linux/macOS-specific tools (such as uuidgen) are mentioned, and the only explicit example is Windows/PowerShell. This creates a subtle Windows-first bias in tooling recommendations.
Recommendations
  • Mention Linux/macOS equivalents for GUID generation, such as the uuidgen command.
  • Provide examples for generating GUIDs on multiple platforms (e.g., PowerShell, Bash, online tools).
  • List platform-agnostic options before platform-specific ones, or group them together.
  • Clarify that any tool capable of generating a GUID is acceptable, regardless of OS.
