  ssh-add -L

(capital L) prints the public key as retrieved from gpg-agent.

That is a protocol neutral way to identify a public key.  It is a hash
over the actual public key parameters.  It is GnuPG specific but for
example, pkcs#15 uses a similar technique.  To compute it, you should
use the respective Libgcrypt function.
