Sharing a project that executes Termux commands without using the Termux:Tasker plugin
Right off the bat, I want to say that I am not a developer and I don't know Java. I spent a couple of hours using AI to make this as stable as possible, and hopefully users with coding knowledge can help refine and improve this further for the community because I think this concept is pretty neat (or not?).
Termux:Tasker is an awesome plugin and one of my favorite tools, so huge respect to the dev who built it for us.
That said, I sometimes prefer having direct control over my setup without being solely dependent on external plugins. After discovering that I could recreate some of Termux:Tasker's functionality using Tasker's Java Code action (thanks to AI), and hearing that Termux:Tasker has issues running on newer Android version (Android 17), I decided to build a standalone alternative (alternative is a big word but you get me) using Java Code actions and Termux intents directly.

Special thanks to u/aasswwddd for the suggestion to build a scripted object and store it as a global Java variable. This allows calling the script object cleanly from anywhere in Tasker and passing in custom parameters.
