I have validation rules that I only want invoked if a user is updating a record. I also have flows updating the record - in that case I would like to skip the validation.

You could create a custom field such as a checkbox that the flow will mark as true along with the other field updates that occur. e The validation rule can then be modified to only fire when the checkbox is set to false. A workflow rule will be needed to update the checkbox to false each time it is updated to be true so that the validation rule will fire for updates made by an user.
