Middleman doesn't provide this exact workflow. But for the way your originally 
described your problem ("My goal is to make it simple when I save Haml file and 
refresh browser to see the Html file."), it has a workflow that will work. 

The idea is that you have a middleman project (which may contain files in lots 
of different template languages, including Haml and Sass). Then you run the 
middleman server. When your browser connects to the middleman server, Middleman 
arranges for the template to be executed and sends the result it to the 
browser. So, in this normal cycle, you never actually generate static HTML or 
CSS. (Middleman does have a command to generate static files also, but from 
your use case I don't think you need it.)

Middleman's getting started page[1] outlines the specific commands for 
executing this workflow.
