+## Local Prompt Profile Override
+
+Hourly normally selects the embedded `weather-light` profile. To use a local
+OpenAI-compatible model without changing prompts or application code, copy
+[weather-light-local-profile.yml](../examples/weather-light-local-profile.yml),
+set its `endpoint` and `model` for the local server, and configure the copy as
+`promptkit.profile_file`. The profile file's `weather-light` definition
+completely replaces the embedded definition; it does not affect a report that
+selects another profile ID.
+
+For example, install the profile file at a known absolute path and set:
+
+```yaml
+promptkit:
+  profile_file: /etc/weatherreporter/weather-light-local-profile.yml
+```
+
+Prompt inspection occurs before weather collection. A malformed profile file,
+missing required credential, or unsupported selected backend stops the command
+before collection. A reachable profile can still fail later if its local model
+endpoint is unavailable; Weatherreporter does not switch to a remote profile.
