I expect that if you were to poll philosophers as to what they are expert at, they would say evaluating the validity/inductive strength of arguments (but not necessarily the truth of the premises of said arguments). If not, it would probably be something along the lines of being able to reproduce and interpret the arguments of other philosophers.

Those are both good suggestions. I would add facility with generating imagined stories, thought experiments, and counter-examples.
