This is really cool! I wanted to contribute to the search for new problems at one point, but I never figured it out. It would be great if there were detailed instructions for https://github.com/ornicar/lichess-puzzler for non-programmers (just launch it and it works).

I also thought about this at one point, so I could check my students' mistakes for tactical approaches. But it's complicated, even though all the triggers are written in Python.
