Normal Sudoku rules apply.
CIPHER - Each letter represents a different digit.
COPYCAT - Place 9 Copycat Cells into the grid so that there is exactly one Copycat Cell in each row, column, and 3x3 box. Each Copycat Cell must contain a different digit. The value of a Copycat Cell is the digit in the cell rotationally opposite itself in the grid. For example, if r2c3 is a Copycat Cell, its value is the digit in r8c7.
KILLER - The values of cells in a cage must sum to the total in the top left corner.
LITTLE KILLER - A clue outside the grid gives the sum of the values along the indicated diagonal.
Solution code: The digits in copycat cells (in reading order)

Is the clue in the top right supposed to be A times T, or A first digit T second.
For example if A is 5 and T 7,
Is it 35 or 57?
--
juggler: it would be 57.
