Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
powershell_heavy
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation presents both PowerShell (Windows) and Bash (Linux/macOS) examples, but the PowerShell section is listed first and is more detailed in its instructions. The script-saving instructions reference Notepad (a Windows tool) before Notepad++ (which, while cross-platform, is more common on Windows), and VS Code (cross-platform) is mentioned in both. The Bash section also suggests running the script via WSL, which is a Windows-specific Linux environment, rather than mentioning native Linux or macOS terminals. There is a subtle prioritization of Windows tools and workflows.
Recommendations:
- Alternate the order of PowerShell and Bash sections or default to Bash first to avoid implicit Windows prioritization.
- In script-saving instructions, mention cross-platform editors (e.g., VS Code, nano, vim) before or alongside Windows-specific editors like Notepad.
- In the Bash section, recommend running the script in any Bash environment (Linux, macOS, or WSL) rather than only mentioning WSL.
- Ensure parity in the level of detail and troubleshooting tips between PowerShell and Bash sections.
- Explicitly state that both Windows and Linux/macOS users are supported equally, and provide links to Bash setup instructions for non-Windows platforms if needed.
