Description
Description
The current repository is rather large. The ZIP download alone is over 14 GB. I only want to contribute minor changes, but cloning the code takes a very long time.
Would it be possible to slim down or split the repository?

Research direction
Start by investigating what makes the raycast/extensions repository's ZIP exceed 14 GB and whether its contents can be slimmed or split without harming extension contributions. Define a repository layout or distribution approach and verify that contributors can still obtain and modify extensions; the issue provides no named files or tests.
