Rules
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Digits must not repeat along the positive diagonal.
A and B represent two different numbers.
Clues outside the grid are simultaneously X-sums clues, sandwich clues, and skyscrapers clues.
X-sums: clues indicate the sum of the first X digits, where X is the first seen digit.
Sandwich: clues indicate the sum of the digits between the 1 and the 6 in that row/column.
Skyscrapers: clues indicate how many digits are "seen" by the clue looking into its row/column. Digits are visible when they are larger than all digits before them.
Solution code: Row 2

That was pretty amazing. I am blown away how setters even come up with this idea.

Genuinely brilliant setting. Much less intimidating than I expected but very fun!

Interesting combo of restrictions, looking forward to solve it
If I may, would it be possible to give A and B in the form of killer cells, so that we may pencilmark in those cells?

A cryptic triple ambiguity - impressive! Thanks for sharing.

Very nice, especially taking into account the great observation as a setter that this is even possible. Thanks
