Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
Summary
The documentation provides environment variable setup instructions for Windows Command Prompt and PowerShell before mentioning the equivalent command for macOS/Linux. The Windows instructions are more detailed (e.g., mentioning restarting the command prompt), and the PowerShell example is given before the Linux/macOS example. There are no Linux-specific tools or patterns mentioned elsewhere, but the order and detail of examples show a mild Windows-first and PowerShell-heavy bias.
Recommendations
  • Present environment variable setup instructions for all platforms in parallel, using a table or side-by-side format, rather than listing Windows first.
  • Provide equal detail for Linux/macOS instructions (e.g., mention if restarting the terminal is needed, as is done for Windows).
  • Consider using neutral, cross-platform language and examples where possible (e.g., recommend using the .NET CLI, which works on all platforms, for all steps).
  • Explicitly state that the instructions apply equally to Windows, Linux, and macOS, and avoid giving the impression that Windows is the primary or default platform.
