This is a DEBUT for a new clue type which I have coined as Skyscraper Thermos.

-Standard Sudoku rules apply
-Killer Cages: Digits in black cages must sum to the number in the top left corner of the cage. Digits may not repeat within a cage.
-Skyscraper Thermos: each cell is the height of a building. the cell in a circle looks along the line and counts how many buildings it can see. tall buildings hide smaller ones behind them. each line works independently from others when counting to a circles sum(e.g r3c9 has a max value of 2, not 4). Digits may repeat along a line if allowed by other rules.
-Look-and-say-cages: For Red Cages, read the clue out loud, doing this describes the nature of the cage. E.g. 1522 says there is “one five and two two(s)” in the cage.
-German Whispers: Adjacent digits on a green line must have a difference of at least 5.

Thanks for sharing this puzzle. It has a really nice and easy flow, but was still interesting.

ich habe etwas gebraucht, bis ich verstanden habe, dass die Ziffer im Kreis sich selbst nicht sieht.

Interesting. I've seen the same constraint before from Florian Wortmann: https://logic-masters.de/Raetselportal/Raetsel/zeigen.php?id=000ICA. He called them skyscraper lines.

I really like that constraint and am happy there is another puzzle using it. Very well done!
