Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation provides environment variable setup instructions for Windows (cmd and PowerShell) before Linux/macOS, and includes both setx (cmd) and PowerShell commands, which may suggest a slight Windows-first and PowerShell-heavy bias. However, Linux/macOS instructions are also present and complete. There are no missing Linux examples or exclusive use of Windows tools elsewhere.
Recommendations:
  • Present environment variable setup instructions for all platforms in parallel (e.g., in a table or side-by-side tabs), or rotate which OS is presented first in different sections.
  • Avoid giving Windows instructions (cmd, PowerShell) before Linux/macOS by default; consider listing Linux/macOS first or equally.
  • Ensure parity in all command-line instructions, and consider mentioning that Linux/macOS users do not need to restart the shell after export, while setx on Windows does.
  • If possible, provide a single cross-platform script or tool (e.g., a .env file or a Go-based setup script) to reduce OS-specific steps.
