ADRs are similar, yet the important point is not the format of the design log entry, but it's usage with AI.

with design log, we ask the AI to create the ADR or log entry, but unlike ADR we 1. require the AI to ask question and we answer. 2. require the AI to update the design log after implementation with any drift from the original design.

Both of the above help to make the AI more precise and prevent context drift.
