edit: integrated the comments section of ChainSafe/lodestar#9833 here in addition to the note below

This is more of a personal taste thing, but i always prefer seeing the possible result(s) of a function first, then justification. Hope this enforces a more straightforward documentation written by agents. Happy to hear thoughts or if people have different opinions

Opened this after reviewing #562 , i found that agents tend to like to write a lot before stating exactly what the expected result(s) are, which reads to me like beating around the bush

perhaps we should have a styleguide soon to point agents at

Should we take the language of ChainSafe/lodestar#9833 into account here?

@wemeetagain done in 60bdac6, added a new Comments section underneath Code Style. I also reworded the original change a bit to be more general, telling agents to prefer active over passive voice
