Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing command-line examples that use Windows-specific syntax (e.g., 'set' for environment variables, caret '^' for line continuation, and Windows paths for jq). There are no explicit Linux/bash examples, and the instructions for using curl are tailored to Windows environments. PowerShell is also presented as a primary method, with no mention of bash or Linux shell equivalents. Tools and patterns (like jq path and environment variable setting) are shown only for Windows.
Recommendations:
  • Provide parallel Linux/bash examples for all curl commands, using 'export' for environment variables, backslash '\' for line continuation, and typical Linux jq paths (e.g., '/usr/bin/jq').
  • Clearly separate Windows and Linux command blocks, labeling them accordingly.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific syntax in generic sections, or provide both Windows and Linux alternatives.
  • Mention bash or Linux shell as an equivalent to PowerShell for users on non-Windows systems.
  • Include a note or table summarizing differences in command syntax and tool locations between Windows and Linux.
