TSL S2T1 Paint Kermit Like One of Your French Girls

At the beginning of the year I had decided I would push myself as a setter and try new things and do things other than vanilla sudoku constraints. So I joined the Skunkworks League to push my creativity and have some fun in the process. For turn 1 we were given a grid and had to make a puzzle that uses the clues in that grid in a meaningful way while staying at a certain difficulty. I think I did exactly that and I really enjoyed how smooth my puzzle came out. I hope you enjoy.

Rules:

Overlaps: Every little square is the center of a 3x3 box. Fill the grid with the numbers from 1 to 9 so that in each row, column, and aforementioned box each digit occurs exactly once.

Renban: Digits on renban lines form a set of non-repeating consecutive digits in any order. Different colors stand for different lines.

Double Arrows: Digits on double arrows lines sum to the same total as the digits in the attached circles.

Digits outside the grid are skyscraper clues. They give the number of digits in the row or column the clue 'sees'. Digits obscure smaller digits from vision.

For reference, here is the grid we were given to start with.
