Mystery Cages Somedoku
This is somedoku #18. Check out the rest of the puzzles in the somedoku series.
Rules:
- Somedoku: Fill each cell with a digit from 1-9. Fill every row 'n' and column 'n' with exactly 'n' different digits, repeating digits as necessary.
- Kropki: Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive.
- Ambiguous Cages: Each cage is either a killer cage (with repeats) or a look and say cage, but NOT both.
- Killer Cage: In a killer cage the digits sum to the number in the top left-hand corner of the cage. Digits MAY repeat.
- Look and Say Cage: In a look and say cage the first digit in the number in the top left-hand corner tells you exactly how many times the second digits appears in the cage.
Solution code: Column 6

The way you set the cage totals was... nice! I don't just mean the upper right cage, either. The cages are perfectly placed to either add or remove ambiguity at different times. Excellent puzzle.
