Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ windows_first
Summary:
The documentation shows mild Windows bias by using the 'del-cli' tool in the npm build script, which is a Windows-centric utility for deleting files/folders. While the rest of the instructions and shell commands are Unix-like (bash), the inclusion of 'del-cli' and the lack of explicit Linux/macOS alternatives or notes may cause confusion or friction for non-Windows users. However, the majority of the examples use bash syntax and Linux-style paths, and there are no PowerShell examples or exclusive references to Windows-only tools beyond 'del-cli'.
Recommendations:
  • Replace 'del-cli' with a cross-platform alternative such as 'rimraf' in the npm build script, or provide separate instructions/scripts for Windows and Linux/macOS environments.
  • Explicitly mention that the build instructions and shell commands are intended for Unix-like systems, and provide Windows (cmd/PowerShell) equivalents where appropriate.
  • Audit all CLI tool usage in scripts for cross-platform compatibility and document any OS-specific requirements or alternatives.
  • Add a note in the prerequisites or build section clarifying any differences in commands or tools between Windows and Linux/macOS.
