Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation generally aims for cross-platform parity, but there are several instances of Windows bias. Windows command-line environments (Cmd, PowerShell) are often listed before or alongside Linux/macOS alternatives, and PowerShell-specific instructions are present. There is also a tendency to refer to 'command prompt' (a Windows term) alongside 'terminal', and some examples (e.g., virtual environment activation) provide more detail for Windows than for Linux/macOS. PowerShell is treated as a first-class language, which is inherently Windows-centric, and Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., .venv\scripts\activate, .exe suffixes) are mentioned.
Recommendations:
  • When listing command-line instructions, consistently present Linux/macOS examples first or in parallel with Windows, rather than defaulting to Windows-first.
  • Use neutral terminology such as 'terminal' instead of 'command prompt' unless specifically referring to Windows Cmd.
  • Ensure that all examples and instructions are provided for both Linux/macOS and Windows, with equal detail and clarity.
  • Where PowerShell is used, clarify its cross-platform availability or provide bash/zsh equivalents where possible.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific file paths or executable suffixes (like .exe) in generic instructions, or provide platform-specific alternatives.
  • In sections where multiple tabs are used for OS-specific commands, ensure Linux/macOS is not treated as an afterthought and receives equal prominence.
