Where <project-slug> is the workspace path with / replaced by - and leading - stripped.
Steps
The project slug is provided in the system prompt's agent_transcripts section. It contains the path to the agent-transcripts folder. Read it directly from the system prompt -- do NOT try to compute it.
The current session UUID is the parent directory name of the transcript JSONL mentioned in the [Previous conversation summary] section (field: Transcript location). If there is no summary, the session UUID appears in the agent_transcripts section as the citation format (<uuid excluding .jsonl>).
If this is a brand-new session with no [Previous conversation summary], the transcript folder is the one from the agent_transcripts section in the system prompt. List the folder to find the most recently modified .jsonl file -- that is the current session.
