Digits do not repeat within a cage.
The cages in the puzzle are all, up to rotation, one of three different shapes. No cage of one shape may contain a digit that is contained in a cage of a different shape.
All possible cages are given.
Normal Arrow Rules: Digits in a circle are the sum of the digits on the arrow attached to that circle.
Normal Partial Kropki Rules: Digits in cells connected by a white dot are consecutive.

Forgot about the negative constraint and spent like 15 minutes staring at the grid without a clue. My bad, but great puzzle. Thanks for setting =)
