To be exact, the syntax is Gherkin not cucumber.

And, there's already a library to run specs written in Gherkin.

This is completely irrelevant, but the .chs extension is already taken by the c2hs tool.

Excerpts from Niklas Hambüchen's message of Tue Sep 10 00:30:41 -0700 2013 :
Impressed by the productivity of my Ruby-writing friends, I have recently come across Cucumber: http://cukes.info
It is a great tool for specifying tests and programs in natural language, and especially easy to learn for beginners.
I propose that we add a Cucumber syntax for Haskell, with the extension ".chs", next to .hs and .lhs.
Code written in cucumber syntax is concise and easy to read: You can find some example code in https://gist.github.com/nh2/6505995. Quoting from that:
Feature: The Data.List module
In order to be able to use lists As a programmer I want a module that defines list functions
Scenario: Defining the function foldl Given I want do define foldl Which has the type (in brackets) a to b to a (end of brackets), to a, to list of b, to a And my arguments are called f, acc, and l When l is empty Then the result better be acc Otherwise l is x cons xs Then the result should be foldl f (in brackets) f acc x (end of brackets) xs
PS: People even already started a testing framework for Haskell in it: https://github.com/sol/cucumber-haskell#cucumber-for-haskell
