Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation generally aims for cross-platform parity, but there are subtle signs of Windows bias. Windows command-line environments (Cmd, PowerShell) are often mentioned explicitly and sometimes before Linux/bash equivalents. PowerShell is given a dedicated programming language pivot, and Windows-specific instructions (such as activating Python venvs) are provided in detail. There is also a tendency to refer to 'terminal or command prompt' rather than just 'terminal', and some examples use Windows-centric terminology or tools.
Recommendations:
  • Ensure that Linux/bash instructions are always presented before or alongside Windows/Cmd/PowerShell examples, not after.
  • Use neutral language such as 'terminal' instead of 'command prompt' unless specifically referring to Windows.
  • Where PowerShell is given as a primary example, ensure bash/zsh equivalents are equally prominent.
  • For all code snippets, provide both bash and Windows (Cmd/PowerShell) versions side-by-side, and make it clear which is which.
  • Review all references to tools and paths (e.g., file paths, activation commands) to ensure Linux and macOS users are not disadvantaged.
  • Consider adding explicit notes about cross-platform compatibility and any platform-specific caveats.
