Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias by presenting Windows and PowerShell-based instructions before Linux/macOS equivalents, requiring WSL for Windows users, and referencing Windows-specific tools and path conventions. Linux and macOS instructions are less detailed and sometimes only mentioned after Windows steps. There is also an emphasis on Docker Desktop (with a Windows install link) and WSL configuration, while native Linux workflows are less emphasized.
Recommendations:
  • Present Linux/macOS instructions alongside or before Windows instructions, or use parallel tabbed sections for each OS.
  • Provide native Linux and macOS setup steps with equal detail, including terminal commands and file path conventions.
  • Avoid requiring WSL for Windows users unless absolutely necessary; if used, clarify why and provide alternatives.
  • Include Linux and macOS Docker installation links in prerequisites, not just Windows.
  • When referencing file paths, show both Windows and Unix-style examples.
  • Ensure all scripts and commands are demonstrated for both PowerShell/Windows and Bash/Linux environments.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform tools and language in examples, minimizing Windows-specific terminology.
