I notice you neglected "Ability to be modest."
As for me, my best skill seems to be picking on the wounded. I love laying down a spore cloud as a Marine makes his last soon-to-be-fatal run toward Marine spawn to heal and rearm. Three steps, followed by a thump, and the gurgle of my RFK.
I'm also a horrible meanie with Parasite. I parasite everything! TWICE! My personal count for parasite kills currently stands at 28. I keep track because I love them >:D
I'm also really good at gestating in the path of angry marines, and getting my egg scrambled. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Ability to attract knife-addcits when I gestate....I've been knifed as an egg about 10 times today....it's as if my egg releases some sort of special scent of walhack for them to see teh eggeh about to turn to a lerk....
Ability to draw fire without dying as skulk - I'm not a brilliant aim with skulk bite, so I go in first.

I'm good at cattleprodding herds of onos around by luring them with the promise of umbra/hs into where they need to be. There's no motivation for an onos better than "go in there and I'll heal/cover you".
I spend about 80% of my time lerking and gorging so I get a lot of practice.
Ability to devour jetpack rines from mid-air, as well as rines on high platforms.
Ability to, no matter what, be completely ignored by Marines set on a different goal. I'm a lone skulk defending a teammate's egg at an undefended hive, trying to stop the three Marines running with knives at the egg. After much futile biting for the comm is spamming medpacks, I xeno their arses to the gratitude of my gestating teammate.
Ability to use the vents to my advantage. I'll watch a guy walk out of Marine Start on ns_hera and parasite him, then watch his cover walk off. Drop out of the vent and take out his cover, jump into the vent before anyone sees me, then drop on the first marine as he walks by in the hallway between Hera and Holoroom.
I do what seems like common sense now and again sometimes. Using long hallways to my full advantage, actually being ABLE TO USE 250/30 bullets simply because I waste any skulks trying to rush me long before they get close enough. Standing in chokepoint hallways and doing the above. Being aware of the walls and the roof, as well as looking for little signs that there is a skulk hanging right around the corner. Knowing how to shoot skulks trying to evade bullets with the LMG on full auto. Being able to sneak by one end of a vent, and patiently wait at the other end for a lerk to show up, then pistol-raping it before it knows I'm there. Knowing the general movement and evasion patterns of attack skulks so as to jump over their heads nine times out of ten, while reloading. Or how to temporarily strafe the same direction as the skulk in order to properly aim the pistol just long enough to pop five rounds off. I'm pretty obnoxious as a marine when I'm taking the game seriously, instead of happily marching around without checking the corners and cielings, and taking blind corners freely. So few people seem to understand that you can hold off an entire army of skulks just by standing at the far end of a hallway.
Case in point, all of the above happened in my favorite Tournament Mode server, RedPhive#2, ns_veil, in the four-way-stop outside topographical. I might add that said 4-way stop is probably the best chokepoint for setting up a farm or wall out there, as well as a great place to set up shop before pushing into a hive. It also has hallways on all three sides facing away from the marine end of the map to take out two or three skulks no problem with an un-upgraded LMG.
All I did was stand there with enough ammo to wipe out the base, and methodically earned the marine team 1-3 res at a time. I died maybe twice. Since all I was doing was standing there guarding topographical, I don't know WHY the whole alien team kept throwing two skulks at a time at me. Not only that, but the idiots just ran in a straight line. I would also occasionally charge them a bit, and take down those skulkers who have regen and just wanted the Para kill. It was great. I was having a really good day.
Some guy accused me of aimbotting. The server laughed. Marines won.

Ability to take over an area as a marine & refuse to die for 20 minutes.
Usually done at the start of a round, directly outside a hive.
Secondary:
Ability to ninja behind alien forces, and finish off Oni & Fades trying to retreat to heal. Usually with a knife for comedy factor.
Tertiary:
Ability to not be a sucky shot.
