Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as 'command prompt', backslash path separators, and lack of Linux/MacOS terminal instructions). There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform instructions for running scripts or handling file paths, and all examples assume a Windows environment.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent instructions for Linux and MacOS, such as using 'terminal' instead of 'command prompt', and show relevant shell commands.
  • Use platform-agnostic path handling in code examples (e.g., os.path.join instead of hardcoded backslashes).
  • Show both Windows and Linux/MacOS commands for installing dependencies and running scripts.
  • Explicitly mention that the scripts are cross-platform and note any platform-specific considerations.
  • Include screenshots or terminal output from Linux/MacOS environments where appropriate.
