Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types

windows_tools
Summary
The documentation exclusively provides examples using Windows-centric paths (e.g., C:\Workspaces), Windows images (microsoftwindowsdesktop_windows-ent-cpc_win11-24H2-ent-cpc), and PowerShell tasks. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples, nor any mention of Linux images, shell tasks, or Linux file paths. This creates a strong Windows bias and may alienate users working in Linux environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples using Linux images (e.g., ubuntu-latest) and Linux file paths (e.g., /home/dev/Workspaces).
  • Include examples that use shell tasks (bash or sh) instead of only PowerShell.
  • Mention Linux support explicitly if available, or clarify platform limitations if not.
  • Ensure that documentation sections and examples alternate or balance between Windows and Linux scenarios.
  • Reference cross-platform tools and patterns where possible, rather than only Windows-specific ones.
