I believe you were just missing the [@@] prefix for identifiers, to disable implicit argument resolution in particular cases.

structure Foldable : sig
    class foldable :: (Type -> Type) -> Type
    val mkFoldable : t ::: (Type -> Type) -> (a ::: Type -> b ::: Type ->
                     ((a -> b -> b) -> b -> t a -> b)) -> foldable t
    val foldr : t ::: (Type -> Type) -> a ::: Type -> b ::: Type ->
                foldable t -> (a -> b -> b) -> b -> t a -> b
end = struct
type foldable t = a ::: Type -> b ::: Type -> (a -> b -> b) -> b -> t a -> b fun mkFoldable [t](f: a ::: Type -> b ::: Type -> (a -> b -> b) -> b -> t a -> b) = @@f
    fun foldr [t][a][b] (f: foldable t): (a -> b -> b) -> b ->
                                             t a -> b = f
end

open Foldable

val foldable_list : foldable list = mkFoldable @@List.foldr

make them work by bringing them to class parameters.

                                              t a -> b = f
end

open Foldable

val foldable_list [a][b]: foldable list a b = mkFoldable List.foldr

(* --- *)

Is there a way to define the free type variables of methods existentially or
should I stick to the previous design?

type foldable t = a :::Type -> b:::Type -> (a -> b -> b) -> b -> t a -> b
