Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias, particularly in the instructions for setting environment variables. Windows command prompt and PowerShell commands are consistently listed before Linux/macOS equivalents, and explicit references to Windows tools (setx, PowerShell) are made. However, Linux/macOS commands are present and correct, and the main code samples are cross-platform JavaScript.
Recommendations:
- Present Linux/macOS and Windows instructions in parallel or randomize the order to avoid always listing Windows first.
- Use tabbed or side-by-side formatting for OS-specific instructions, so no platform is prioritized.
- Where possible, use neutral language (e.g., 'On Windows, use... On Linux/macOS, use...') rather than always listing Windows first.
- Consider referencing cross-platform tools (e.g., cross-env for setting environment variables in npm scripts) if appropriate.
- Ensure all platform-specific instructions are equally detailed and visible.
